My Students

Rita Pierson once said, "Every child deserves a champion—an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be."

Our kids need basic learning supplies in order to thrive - my co-teacher and I are here to champion their cause!

In September, Ms. Carbone and I are thrilled to be co-teaching an amazing group of 6th graders. Our rising middle schoolers are coming to us with a range of special needs - both academic and personal. Additionally, limited financial resources, it is a struggle for our kids and their families to purchase the necessary school supplies and materials they need to do their best. It is our mission to ensure each child begins this school year armed and ready to work hard and reach their goals!

My Project

Most of our students come into school the first day, week and month, without school supplies! You could help change that! We have requested school supplies that will support every day learning. From pencils to lined paper, our students will have all the resources to bring our ELA & Humanities classroom to life.

There's a superhero in all of us and with your generous donation, our students will be armed and ready with the supplies they need to take on the school year!

This is your chance to help and be the change you wish to see in our world.
