My Students

Welcome to my page! I appreciate you taking the time to learn about my class as a teacher! We are a Title I school located in Georgia. We have a variety of ethnic backgrounds within our school. Our school currently has 100% poverty rate.

Given the opportunity to meet my students, you would quickly fall in love with them just like I have.

Even though my students face difficulties in a variety of ways daily, each and every one of them come to school excited and motivated to learn. I am blown away daily by how much they are capable of already at such a young age.

My Project

My middle school girls basketball team needs matching jackets to wear on game days and to practice.

Many of the players have never played basketball before and I would like to give them an athletic jacket to wear on game days to give them pride in the work they put in for this team!

Basketball season is in the winter and having an athletic jacket they can wear over their clothes to practice and over their uniforms when traveling would be greatly beneficial. I know that our team would love to have these. Thank you for taking the time to read about my project!
