My Students

Our students are labeled as high risk, low income, but what they really are is hard for me to put into words. They are, most simply, an inspiration to me everyday. They are overcomers. They start with us as lost, forgotten and lonely and end up being known, loved and a part of our school's family. Watching them grow is encouraging and exciting work!

As part of our family, I believe our students deserve an education that can help shape their futures to be something better than their past.

I want them to be able to build skills that will help them be successful. They are the future of our community and if we do our jobs well as teachers, could change the our city for the better.

My Project

Last year, we started a dynamic, interdisciplinary project between our biology, environmental studies, history and financial literacy classes. The two hives purchased for this project will replace our previous hives that did not make it through the winter this year.

Help our students learn real life skills to help them be successful adults!

In this project, they will learn how bees function, why they are important to our food supply and environment, the history of victory gardens and how to design a business model to sell our honey to a local coffee shop.

Please take this project into consideration. We have already had so much success and want to keep this beautiful project going!
