My Project

For 9th graders in our district, we have a stand-alone campus that serves as a go-between from middle school to high school. The building currently used for this endeavor is several decades old, and it is left to us to finance the improvements needed for our particular learning spaces. Your donation this summer will help me design and provide two under-the-sea theme area rugs, ocean theme class decor, and plants to create the perfect classroom theme - "Under The Sea" - which encourages students to explore the unexplored and unappreciated world around us. In terms of my class, Freshman Seminar, the theme is meant to dive deeper into learning, reflection, and exploration!

Help us dive deep into an ocean of great learning this coming school year!
