Your generosity has provided my students with opportunities to explore, create, problem-solve, and learn through hands-on experiences. These resources allow students to move beyond simply learning about STEM concepts and actually put their knowledge into practice. They are developing important skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, communication, and perseverance as they work through challenges and discover solutions.\r\n\r\nMy students especially enjoy opportunities to learn by doing. Whether they are designing, testing, making adjustments, or working together to solve a problem, they are becoming more confident in their ability to think like engineers and innovators. Your support helps create a classroom where students can be curious, take risks, learn from mistakes, and celebrate their successes. Thank you for investing in my students and helping them see themselves as capable STEM learners and future problem-solvers.

Your donations have allowed me to teach my woodwind students without worrying about if we had enough reeds or mouthpieces to go around.

In the beginning of December, I took my students to the public library downtown, where we performed a selection of Christmas songs for the Holiday Lights Celebration. This was an amazing opportunity for my students to perform in front of an audience and prepare for our full Christmas concert later that month, and they rocked it out! Then, one week later, we performed a preview of the Christmas concert for the student body of the middle school, and that night performed the full Christmas concert for parents, teachers, and the community.
