My Students

My students are imaginative, creative, clever, enthusiastic, and overall fun-loving girls. Most of them come from low-income households and have not had much experience with the world outside their community. Our school provides a rigorous education that is needed in today's society. We are an academically focused, all-girl school that will show everyone that we have beauty and brains.

My Project

During this upcoming holiday season, I would love to surprise my students with some holiday cheer in the form of coloring, sketches, journals, gel pens, and novels.

My students have been working tremendously hard during distance learning and deserve some joy.

This holiday season will be quite different for my students. We are still in the phase of distant learning. This means there will not be any Secret Santa Exchange this school year. I would love to be able to give my students something small to make their holiday special while putting smiles on all of their faces.
