My Students

My students are amazing! They come with tenacity, creativity, and a wide variety of experiences and gifts. We work hard every day as scholars, artists, critical thinkers, and friends. Together we imagine new possibilities for our community, our country, and the world.

At our school, 96% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and 92% of the students are students of color.

My students have come from many different parts of the world including Ecuador, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Ethiopia, Somalia, and the United States. The majority of my students are learning English as a second or third language.

My students are the engineers, pilots, dentists, poets, and architects of the future. These students have the capacity to achieve greatness.

My Project

My students are explorers, scientists, artists and inventors. My students are the creative minds that will shape the 21st century and beyond.

My students are engaged by STEM activities which allow them to learn science, technology, engineering and math.

My students have so much passion for learning and for creating, and we need more opportunities to expand our perspectives and our creativity. These interactive engineering based books will be just the ticket!

"Destroy This Book In The Name Of Science" will give my students an incredible opportunity to practice the creative and scientific process. My students will be able to build a hoop glider, press out turtle water racers, color an Einstein bobblehead, and much more! With these activities, we will continue to develop our scientific minds and build a stronger community. Thank you for considering our project!
