My Students

Our middle school students are from urban, rural, and suburban areas. On the first day I walked in the building as a substitute teacher many years ago, I saw a sign about the doors that said, "The greatest students in the world go to school here." Several minutes later as I tried to make my way around the building a student asked me if she could escort me to the correct classroom. In the years since that day, I have continued to believe that all of our students are the best and they deserve the best.

Thank you for giving our students the chance to be the best with your generous donations.

I know with your help and support our students can continue to learn and thrive.

My Project

These escape room kits and supplies will create some amazing hands-on experiences for students. One of the kits includes a virtual reality experience that can be used with a smartphone. This will engage all learners and get them up and moving. Students will be able to use these materials during our game club, after-school program, and in class. Students will be able to solve various puzzles, problems, and codes in order to "escape" the room. They will work in a team and use the UV blacklights and ink, the keys, storage boxes, and secret containers that hide clues "in plain sight." The water bottle, Coke can, and dictionary are actually boxes, in which keys and clues can be hidden. The extra supplies will allow us to also complete escape rooms on grammar, literary elements, and other academic concepts.
