I have a variety of students who are excited to learn about the world around them! Some have needs that require intensive academic support; some have needs to continue their learning on track; some have a language barrier they are aiming to overcome, and some need the opportunity to be challenged. I have a school that, unfortunately, does not get many resources provided through our district because we are not eligible. It is our curse to have high performing students. Unfortunately, our students still need attention and resources to continue thriving. Through donors, on sites like these, teachers are able to get support from our community that wants to help children like ours; children who are demonstrating they are eager to learn and just need the resources to do so.
