My Students

Collaboration, time management, intensive research, critical thinking, and creativity are a few skills the students here hone into. This is on top of the historical, reading and writing standards they must fulfill in the classroom. Outside, students are involved in clubs, sports, or just focused on trying to get through middle school. The students in our school come from different ethnic, cultural, familial and class backgrounds but if there is one goal that unites them it is that they are readying for the next chapter of their lives: high school.

"Isang bagsak!" or "One Down" is a Tagalog saying used by the Filipino people during the People Power movement.

We operate under this motto knowing that we are one day closer to our goal. Whether it is completing high school, going to college, or wanting to play professionally, we are always one day closer when we work hard and work together. This saying is built into the foundation of our class community and with your help, every donation you make helps us reach our goal and when we do succeed, we are always onto the next goal. Isang bagsak!

My Project

Our classroom is a Project Based Learning classroom. Students collaborate in groups of 3-4 to come up with innovative ways to plan and present projects to our community and each other. We currently have tables that are not in the best condition.

Therefore, our students need bigger work spaces and functional and sturdy tables that will be helpful to their learning and creativity.

Having long whiteboard tables will give our students another place to plan that isn't just on a screen. We will have strong tables that we don't have to worry about breaking and bigger surfaces to work on.
