My Students

My students are amazing individuals who love coming to school! They overcome obstacles while simultaneously succeeding! Through the learning of history, I strive to empower my students with the tools and knowledge necessary to become the next great leaders using innovative techniques!

Our school is a place where students are always learning, always safe, and always having fun!

My students come to school each and everyday, check their outside world at the door and enter into the world of teaching and learning head first!

My Project

These materials will be used both daily, weekly, and monthly. You may think highlighters, posters, post-its, and a few books and headphones do not accomplish much, but they indeed do. These basic supplies allow all learners to work with the material they are given, the content they are learning and also allows them to actively participate in their learning. Middle school is a tough place, and having the tools for success makes it that much easier. I ask that you donate to help us accomplish the basics, so that we can move onward and upward to the intermediate tasks that lie ahead.
