My Students

"THANK YOU!" That's the the best thing a teacher can hear from a student or parent. And I have heard that phrase many times from the families at our school. Our school is a small school, serving pre-kindergarten to 5th grade students. The school continues to grow each year because our students and their families are committed to our school and want to see it thrive. They are happy to be there.

Our school's positive culture is often praised by teachers, parents, and community members alike.

Being an urban school presents unique challenges, and it is the positive behavior and attitudes of the students and their families that allow us to overcome these challenges.

The teachers at our school are committed to their students, often spending their own time and money to make things extra special, including everything from starting a soccer team to buying books as rewards. The teachers work as a team, striving to increase student achievement and to prepare our students for middle school, high school, college, and beyond.

My Project

Second graders are becoming more mature students. They need the opportunity to choose where to sit. When donors choose this project, they'll be giving students the opportunity to choose to read on the floor with a buddy, to have a soft place to sit while they play a game, to move around the room freely.

Carpet squares are more versatile than a large carpet.

They take up less space and can be stored when not in use. This will allow us to have more options for seating arrangements, as well as more places for centers within the classroom. You cannot change the size of a classroom, but you can change how you utilize the space! The students will love being able to move about the room and carve out a place to learn.
