My Project

I am incredibly fortunate to teach a group of dedicated and hardworking high school students in Savoonga, Alaska. My 9th-12th graders come from a small, close-knit community, and their resilience in the face of unique challenges is truly inspiring. Despite the geographical and cultural barriers they may face, my students are deeply committed to their education and passionate about learning, whether it’s mastering complex social studies concepts, analyzing literature, or exploring new great ideas in history.

The resources I am requesting will help support their learning by providing them with the essential tools they need to succeed in high school and beyond.

Items such as updated notebooks, classroom supplies, and educational materials will give my students the foundation they need to stay organized and actively participate in lessons. In addition, rewards like books, educational games, and incentive-based materials will motivate students to keep working hard and push themselves toward excellence.

My goal for this project is to ensure that my students have the resources they need to feel confident in their abilities and to help foster an environment where learning is not only possible but also enjoyable. I want to see my students thrive academically and develop a lifelong love of learning. With the right resources, I know they can achieve their goals and succeed in the future.

What makes my students truly special is their perseverance and drive. They are excited about their future and have a deep sense of community. They are capable of achieving great things, and with the right support, I believe they can surpass their own expectations.

This project will provide students with the necessary school supplies, educational tools, and rewards to enhance their learning experience. By equipping them with these resources, we aim to create a supportive, motivating environment where they can excel academically.
