My Students

Dominican, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Ecuadorian, of various other Hispanic origins, and first generation Americans describes 90% of my students. My students enter my class full of energy and excitement. Having come to the United States with their families hopeful of a better life and dependent on a great education to secure a brighter future and fulfill their American Dream.

My students embrace the challenges of learning to read, and the greatest reward is seeing the excitement on their faces when they realize the progress they are making.

Having no one at home to practice English and reading with makes the time my students spend in my class extremely valuable. Literacy is a skill my students will have forever and it will help pave the way to a brighter future for them and their families.

My Project

Art is an escape; a creative outlet, a way to lose yourself in the happiest of places while the chaos of the world surrounds you. My visual arts students are struggling to fulfill their artistic needs during COVID and we are trying to get supplies to them. The art easel in this project will be sent home with a student, while the paint and canvases will be divided into care packages to be sent home with other students so they can all continue to create masterpieces while at home. This project is going to get art supplies into the hands of the students who really need it and don't have access or the means to buy it. My students have beautiful ideas they simply need the materials to express them, these art supplies are the solution.
