I teach eighth grade in a high "Free and Reduced Lunch" area. My students love to be active and love to learn about how the topics we learn in science relate to them. For most of my students, science is their favorite subject. Whenever we have a demonstration or participate in a lab, they are so excited to come to class. Many of them dream of working in a science field and as middle schoolers, many of them are trying to figure out what they want to do and who they want to be when they grow up. As a middle school, we really foster allowing the students to be able to make their own choices and give them the opportunity to find out all about themselves and their goals in life. Our school goes above and beyond to make sure our students are prepared in education and life and creates many choices for students to discover themselves. We were even a "Cool School" on the local news! Our students are wonderful and deserve to be given even more opportunities.
