My Students

My students are imaginative, creative, clever, enthusiastic, and overall fun-loving students. Most of them come from low-income households and have not had much experience with the world outside their community. Our school provides a rigorous education that is needed in today's society. My students are movers and shakers that are ready to learn and it is my job to help push them to be their best.

My Project

My students love to learn and they would really love an upgraded small group instruction space. Students exclaimed they want for a sleek new tapestry and some LED lights to hang around our small group instruction space to give some positive vibes. Our math class gets a little heated so we need a fan and some air fresheners to make the atmosphere better. We also need some basic supplies so students can move from class to class with confidence, ease and without a book-bag because our lockers are inoperable.

Our students work hard and advocate for what they want and need.

As a teacher I am asking for these things in hope that you will donate to our cause to beautify and support our tenacity in the classroom. My students democratically selected these items and I approve based on the practicality of their choices.

Thank you in advance and I promise to use these materials with equality and student growth in mind.
