My Project

My students are 6-8th graders at our middle school in the rural, yet quickly expanding town of Star, Idaho! Their demographics vary and they arrive from two neighboring cities in Idaho, in addition to Star. This makes for quite an exciting and diverse culture. They come to school prepared and ready to give their personal best!

When my students come through my door, they deserve to enter into a safe space that nurtures their individuality, encourages creativity, and promotes academic success!

These items will enhance our classroom community environment, ensuring that students are comfortable and ready to learn!

Grades 6-8
