  • Fidget Fun

    Funded Aug 3, 2023

    Thank you so much for supporting my students ! They will be very excited to know they can come to their safe space to unwind when they are having a bad day , and have their choice of “fidgets” to help regulate. They will have many successful days because of your generosity and I can’t thank you enough!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Valsamis

  • Visualizing Math in Color!

    Funded Sep 27, 2017

    Thank you so much for your generosity and gratitude! Obtaining this color printer for our classroom has helped our students learn in a much different way. They have access to information in different colors, that can be bolded and or underlined to help them understand the material better.

    Aside from learning, the printer has enabled all of our students to show off their projects, in beautiful color ink. So far, we have completed two projects, both of which the students printed in color and we displayed on the bulletin board. The feedback has been awesome and so fulfilling for our kids! They are very proud of their awesome, beautifully displayed work.

    Students in our classroom who are english language learners and who have IEPs have especially been grateful for this new color printer. It has enhanced their learning in so many ways.

    Thank you again for contributing to my project to help my 8th graders and future classes have a successful year!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Valsamis

  • Integrating Literacy Into Our Math Classroom

    Funded Dec 31, 2015

    This is just a small token of my gratitude for your generous donation to my classroom. The magazines that you donated have really helped incorporate literacy into our math classroom. The students have enjoyed reading the articles in the magazine .

    Your donation has allowed my students to understand that math relates to the real world, by exposing them to these articles and fun activities.

    These materials really help increase student learning. Thank you again for your donations that allow my students to be engaged in their learning.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Valsamis

Our school's theme is "Eyes On Excellence." We want our students to always aim for excellence, which is why we expose them to much more than just math. For example, we recently researched the planets in our solar system and converted measurements from standard form into scientific notation. We have an eager group of students who enjoy learning, but come from very different backgrounds, with varied learning styles. As teachers, this means that we need to diversify our teaching resources and materials that we bring into our classroom.
