My Students

Inquisitive, observant and collaborative help describe my students. Classes focus on helping children reach their full potential in all aspects of life. With students that come from different backgrounds, each teacher strives to help students learn to appreciate where they come from. My students are also encouraged to dream big and given the resources to do so.

Our goal is to provide a challenging, stimulating, exciting and nurturing learning environment.

The school has many community partners from local churches, universities, and other organizations.

My Project

I have a vision for my room and all I need is your help to complete it! While I already have a carpet for my room, I would also love to offer more comfortable seating as well. By adding alternative seats, my students will have other seating options other than just their desk and chair or on the carpet. It will be a great way for them move around the room and enjoy special seating. Alternative seating will also allow students to sit in different parts of the room and spread out. This will also allow my students to feel more comfortable and provide a more inviting environment.
