My Students

The students I have the pleasure to teach are some of the most passionate, sweetest, exuberant kids you will ever meet! Many of them are also students who have faced many hardships in life and will continue to face many hardships. Our school is a Title I school serving low-income students from all over the city of Nashville, TN. Many students come to our school without ever having been in a Pre-K program of any type. Therefore, some of them are often lacking in skills that perhaps their same-aged, higher income peers have already mastered. Our school is determined to make sure that by the time our students leave our school in 8th grade, they are caught up and on the path to college success. College and life success depends on creating students who are lifelong learners and lovers of gaining knowledge!

I truly hope that in my school all of my students feel the excitement that comes from gaining knowledge and discovering something new every day!

My Project

In approximately one month, kindergarten and first grade students will finally have the chance to come to school in person! This will likely be on a volunteer basis, with the option of continued virtual learning. In order to make my classroom as safe as possible, I am requesting a medical grade air HEPA filter to purify the airspace and disinfecting wipes to clean the numerous surfaces in the classroom.

My hope is that parents will have more peace of mind knowing that these tools are in place to protect students and will thus be more willing to send students back to school.

Furthermore, these items will be great additions to our classroom even after COVID, as flu and other colds will continue to persist with young students. The air filter will help keep students healthier, prevent the spread of illness, and ultimately keep students in school where they can learn.
