My Students

I teach 3rd and 4th grade special education in Norfolk, VA.

My students live in an urban area and typically come from low socio-economic backgrounds.

My students work hard to overcome obstacles every day, but they push through and always persevere. I am so proud of their hard work and the progress they make.

My Project

Our district has been completely virtual since March 2020, but we just learned that we are returning to school next week! Teachers and families are concerned about the safety once we do return to our school building. That is why this project is so important. I want my families to rest assured knowing that we are doing everything that we can to keep their child safe.

This air purifier will be able to clean the air in my office every hour.

I teach Special Education and have a small office where I service most of my students. Many of my students suffer from allergies, so I am excited to be able to help eliminate allergens from my office as well. This machine will be helpful for years to come, especially during the cold and flu season.
