My Students

I am lucky enough to work at a school with some of the most amazing children. Each and every student eagerly comes to school every day to learn and interact with me and each other. The students view school as a second home, and I really want them to feel welcome each time they walk in.

My school is a Title I school and that means our needs are somewhat different from that of other schools.

Although we have many and different needs, it does not replace the love my students have for school. The students are eager to learn ALL subjects, and they deserve the right to do so.

My Project

Celebrating students and their accomplishments is one of my favorite things to do! Every student is unique and excels in many different areas and it is important to constantly honor these achievements! The students at my school deserve to be celebrated, every day, in every way!

By donating to this project, you will help to celebrate all the unique accomplishments of our students, whether they be academic or social-emotional!

Books, fidget toys, coloring books and treats are the most requested items from our students and I would like for them to have a variety of things to choose from in the treasure box.
