My Students

Samuel Battle, the first Black police officer in the NYPD, was a trailblazing leader. He was fearless, humble and altruistic. Proudly named in his honor, my class is individually and collectively becoming leaders themselves. From the heart of Brooklyn, NY these kids have big hearts, big personalities and bigger brains! When I think of how far they can go in life, it overwhelms me with excitement and determination to do all that I can to take them there. With your help, I can provide them with more tools needed to have amazing learning experiences to soar towards the success they so greatly deserve.

My Project

What can be more challenging than figuring out how to navigate a completely new world of teaching online? Doing so with unreliable and outdated technology! Coming together digitally brings so much joy to my students' lives. In a time with so much disconnection and isolation, remote learning has proven to be critical in maintaining not only their academic aptitude, but also their social-emotional well beings. My heart breaks when I can't reliably provide this for them! When my outdated computer doesn't work, my students are not able to receive instruction and more importantly interaction with their peers. Their valuable time is wasted waiting for my glitches, lagging and frozen screen to resolve. By receiving a new laptop, I will be able to make efficient use of their time and mine by focusing on instruction, not troubleshooting tech.
