My Project

Every child has unique character strengths and abilities worth to be celebrated. Each one of them brings to the classroom a spark, a shine, a glow that makes each day with them a brighter day for me as their teacher. They inspire me to work with passion, to be my best for them, to find all the possible ways for them to succeed in school and take that success beyond the classroom walls.

Every child is worth celebrating their effort and their achievements.

The medals and ribbons in this project will be used to celebrate each Trojan Scholar in my classroom at the end of 2022 at our Gala Day. It is a day students are recognized in various subject areas. No one is left without recognition. Each student posses a unique strength and ability worthy of celebration.
