I believe in the power of my students to change the world. Their creativity, innovation, kindness, and curiosity inspire me every day to be a better teacher for them. My students are part of a STEM initiative at our school. With an increasing number of students comes an increasing need for supplies to form our classroom environment and facilitate our learning. Your donations will help us to develop a strong classroom community and allow us to bring projects to life through hands-on activities. My students are part of a multi-age classroom setting in a team-teaching setting. This means that with two teachers, at times we have more than 40 students. We want to make sure that we have the tools necessary so that everyone can be successful this year and so that our learners see themselves reflected in the world of possibilities that STEM can open.
