My Students

Our students are the most amazing kids in the world. They experience challenging living situations, but they are on the road to greatness. We refuse to allow the environments they live in to define who and what they will become in the future!

Each of these students deserve an exceptional education!

We are working daily to overcome the effects of poverty, neighborhood violence, and trauma. These smart and talented children should not be discounted because of factors outside of their control!

My Project

Our goal is to give our students access to books every day! In order to become proficient readers, the students must have books to read. By placing a free library in the foyer of our school, all of our students will have access to books to take home every day. The rack we requested will be the perfect display for interesting reads!

Reading is the foundation to all other areas of learning!

Our students need to have books they can take home and enjoy. We are working to build a lifelong love of reading in our students. Lifelong readers are lifelong learners!
