My Students

My students are from a large, urban community that welcomes families from all over the globe. They bring a special blend of linguistic diversity, background knowledge, prior experiences, and culture to our school. We are a Title I school in a low-income community, and I have twenty-eight students in my class. Free breakfast and free lunch are available to every child in our building each day.

I grew up in this city, and I truly believe I am meant to teach here and give back all I can to my hometown.

My school is a magical place. Despite the challenging home lives of many, my students walk in the door of our quaint little building and are welcomed with heartfelt greetings and genuine smiles, and they are ready to be the best they can be.

Our staff provides specific academic, emotional, and behavioral support to students to meet their specific needs so they can reach their personal potential. I am blessed to witness incredible student growth during each school year, a result of the dedication of my colleagues and the hard work of our students.

My Project

We are creating an outdoor classroom in the courtyard of our school. Teachers will bring classes outdoors for lessons in all content areas, but primarily for STEM teaching and learning. These bleachers will serve as the space where teachers can address and teach their class in a whole group setting.

This outdoor classroom will serve multiple purposes - to provide our 600 students a place to be immersed in the natural world as they investigate, observe, question, and experiment and to honor our beloved principal, who passed unexpectedly this past summer and devastated our whole community.

We cannot wait to acquire the seating for this space to make it the heart of our school. Students will learn in an inspiring, authentic environment and develop a true appreciation for the nature that surrounds them.
