My Students

Hello I'm the new Wraparound Resource Specialist here at Foerster Elementary. The students here at our school come from all different backgrounds. We have a lot of student from different States and countries. Our students are hard workers and strive to do exceptionally well, I know this because when they master an assignment they all come to my office to let me know how well they have done. We have some students who struggle on a daily bases because of things they may not have at home.

The students here at Foerster strive for excellence and want to learn and be successful in class but they deal with a lot in the community .

These scholars are very motivated and want nothing but the best for themselves as much as we want the best for them.

My Project

Our students non-academic needs are important as well. A lot of students on our campus can't afford things such as school supplies, backpacks, healthy snacks, and clothing. Foerster Scholars want to be successful but cant because some kids have to think about where they going to sleep or eat because parent don't work.

These thing will help our student focus and stay on track.

We work hard to cater to the non- academic needs of the students. Our students will greatly appreciate these donations and will benefit from each item that is sent to them.
