My Students

Entering into the building this school year will be 66+ smiling 6th grade faces, eager and ready to learn. Scholars travel from various parts of the city and have multiple facets of home life, some pleasant and some not.

Regardless of the demographics and economic backgrounds, the main goal and point of focus is that scholars receive an education with passion, responsibility, imagination, determination, and empathy-PRIDE!

These scholars aren't always afforded the opportunities others may have. The simplest of needs are often times hard to meet for some of our scholars and their families. Our first lesson in class will be on characterization and adversity.

Children today face challenges that we as adults wouldn't understand, but our scholars are resilient and, with the support of school, teachers, parents, and communities, they all have the opportunity to succeed.

My Project

Lack of supplies can be a classroom's demise! Our class has recently relocated to a new space which is a smaller space with large ideals. Bookshelves stocked with enough books for every scholar is one of the most exciting moments in an English Language Arts class. We also love to create visual art based off of current readings. In order to bring those visions to life, we need craft items to ensure the most imaginative form of creativity. Last but not least, a happy space leads to happy faces ready to learn, and we are eager to get started! We need shelf storage, colored pencils, markers and other classroom supplies. With the support of these wonderful materials, all scholars will be on their way to an exciting time of fun learning.
