Our population is very diverse. We have many nationalities, cultures and abilities. We are a Title I school in a very low-income community, where most children receive free lunch. We have an in-depth special education program, a gifted and talented program and a dual language program. My computer lab is used by students in pre-kindergarten through 5th grade.
An elementary school classroom is like no other place in the world.
It is a home for little ones for six hours a day. Teachers not only provide an education in math, reading and other school subjects, they provide stability, love, acceptance and support for amazing little people. Teachers educate the whole child. Personally, I strive to teach values, love and acceptance in my room, as well.
My Project
At our school we not only focus on academics, but also on building the whole child, helping others, and developing good character traits. Our students and faculty raised over $3,000 for the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life last year and we hope to beat that this year! Throughout the spring we host many fundraisers for Relay For Life including our Music Cafe, Paint Night, and dress-up days. This year we are hosting our first ever Cut for the Cure! We need water bottles and snacks for our students during these events. Our Wolf Pack Band performs at our events and the District wide Relay For Life event. It would be wonderful to have water bottles, chips, cookies, fruit snacks and other quick bites for these events.
Our students may be young, but they know together we can accomplish anything and help the American Cancer Society find a cure!
