My Students

I greet the various classes in front of the door. Positivity is the key. By the time my students sit down in the meeting area, complaints come flying like shooting rocks about the room temperature. I always tell my students that anything worth attaining in life, may have obstacles.

My technology students are our future leaders.

They understand that technology is a tool that influences and improves our lives. They are inquisitive, enthusiastic, and knowledgable learners. Our school is a Leaders in Me school were we visualize each student as a leader.

My Project

We need a portable air conditioner to provide them comfort while learning because the two DOE air conditioners in the Tech Lab are beyond repair and unmovable objects. My students will be able to maintain a consistent level of positivity from the beginning of class to the end. There are actually students who may be affected by the extreme heat. These students learning potential may be minimized due to room temperature. These students may be more eager to participate and learn in a cooler environment.

There are obstacles that cannot be controlled and then there are those that are within our control.

Your donations will express a consensus that room temperature plays an important role in room environment. Students will have a better chance of being successful.
