Welcome to my 2nd grade classroom. We are an ELL school where all of our students eat breakfast and lunch free because over 75% of our students qualify for free and reduced lunch. Our school serves over 400 students representing more than fourteen language groups in our K-5 classrooms. We are a school who has a great love for helping our children succeed and for finding the resources to help our children do so to the best of their abilities. Our students lack some of the essential hands on materials they need to help them be successful. Our kids need access to things such as math materials that help them explore, and books that they can practice reading at their level. Our students are also extremely grateful for the items they do have at school and they use them to help them become better learners. Thank you for investing your trust and support into our students!
