My Students

My students attend a high performing school, which is located in a lower-socioeconomic area, and very proud of the National Blue Ribbon and California Distinguished School awards we've received. Our school is ethnically diverse with students speaking a variety of languages such as English, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Japanese, and Russian.

My students are leaders in making and interested in creating a difference in the world!

They are a part of a tight-knit community that supports education. They always strive to do their best and deserve the best!

My Project

We are requesting assistance in purchasing new sport equipment for P.E., bold colored construction paper for art, and classroom supplies to be used during group lessons. We returned to school to find our sport equipment in poor condition partially due to the lack of usage. We'll use the equipment to teach the class the proper skills while playing basketball and volleyball.

We are also in need of bold colored construction paper and printer ink for future art lessons.

These materials will be used specifically for thematic and holiday activities for the upcoming season. Finally, the self-stick easel pads will be used during our whole group and small group tasks.
