My Students

My students have so much resiliency. Many of them are able to rise above adversity and show how brilliant they are. Their smiles and excitement for learning the content in my class make my job so much easier. They deserve the best and much more.

My Project

The items that I am requesting would help my students have fully functioning equipment in the computer lab. Right now they are using faulty equipment that’s almost 10 years old. We currently do not have enough to serve each student in the school. In my class, students are just learning how to use the computer and these items can break easily. I want to be able to continue teaching my technology lessons and not have to worry so much about equipment failures. The students are so eager to learn the subject matter but I feel bad when a student has a keyboard missing keys and we are doing a typing lesson.
