My Students

We like to think of our K-5th grade school as producing well-rounded, whole children who make healthy choices for their minds, bodies, and spirits. We teach them to care about achieving academically, pushing their bodies to gain physical strength, flexibility, and stamina, and finding joy in the performing and fine arts.

My 5th grade students strive to thrive with challenges that enable them to collaborate, communicate, and be creative and critical thinkers who can make a difference.

Our community is very stable with many families who have a long history in the area. Other families return after college with their own families to attend this well regarded elementary school. In fact, some of our teachers on staff were once students!

Because we are a high academic achieving school, we often do not qualify for the same grant and state funding that schools of lower socioeconomic status would. This does not mean, though, that we are any less worthy, nor do we necessarily have the funds to provide the students with the complete opportunities we would like.

My Project

Knowing that families and school districts are facing financial hardship, I'd love your help to ease their school supply budget by having all materials ready and waiting when my fifth graders return this year.

Having the right tools gets us halfway there.

Students need a binder and tab dividers to organize their paperwork. Students need annotation tools for note taking and projects.

Rather than replying on a district that is facing budget cuts or families that have other priorities for their funds, you can fill our students' desks with all the tools to set them up for success this year.
