    I am truly grateful for all your kindness and concern toward my efforts to show my students that some teachers are invested in their well-being and personal development.

    As I prepare to retire, I am leaving with fond memories of the impact of people like yourself who helped me to make a tremendous difference in the lives of my students, and the great legacy I will leave behind.

    The softball team will be excited to dig into their new equipment. They promised me that they are ready to win on and off the diamond.

  • I CARE

    Funded Dec 28, 2023

    Thank you for your generosity, for donating towards the "I Care Project". This program has already helped many students be able to be successful and become efficient in their academic studies. The students feel very motivated doing their school time and it's a big support for them to have a snack break from time to time. A quick snack break can rejuvenate students and give them more energy for learning. Eating in class can also be helpful in building social skills and a sense of community in the classroom. Sometimes, when students bring food to class, they bring enough for everyone.

    It is people like yourselves who have contributed towards my students success, and for that I am thankful.”

  • The Digital Divide II

    Funded Jul 21, 2021

    Sometimes, Thank you is not enough! The impact that this project had on my students is deeply profound. Imagine you have the good fortune of overcoming so many obstacles to achieve your goal of attending college. Then, after struggling to get everything right to start you realize that your technology equipment is not included in your tuition.

    Many of our students are faced with that reality because of lack of or limited funds. When I decided to create this project, Digital Divide II, I thought about these type of situations.

    I have received numerous phone calls and What's Apps from students thanking me for supporting them in providing them with IPads to be able to complete their college work while being in class or at their student work study job.

    They are grateful and I am happy to be able to help them to fulfill their higher education goals. I could not have done this without your help.”

I want my students to participate and experience a high rigor academic environment. If they can see it, they can be it. If they see successful peers they can become inspired to achieve similar goals. It is my hope to inspire a New Vision in their minds; I always take pictures and post them around my school in order to motivate other students. To accurately reflect delegates of the actual United Nations at our conferences and field trips student participants are required to dress in standard Western business attire. Gentlemen: A suit, or a jacket with dress pants, a dress shirt and tie. Socks and dress shoes are required. No jeans, hats, or caps are allowed. Ladies: A dress, suit, dress slacks or skirt, with a blouse or sweater are all acceptable attire and it is expected that dress appropriately for the conference.
