My Students

I work with an amazingly diverse and talented group of scholars. While they may come to school each day with their own challenges, they persevere through the middle school years, which are not easy for anyone!

The majority of students that I work with have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and receive Special Education services.

Most of the students I support have Emotional/Behavior Disorders or Autism Spectrum Disorder. I learn more from them each day than they could ever take away from my classroom. I am grateful with each incoming class of 6th graders and love watching them grow through 8th grade.

My Project

My students come to me throughout their day for a safe space to take a break and meet their basic needs. Often this means that they need a snack. We are a late start school so by 3pm the students need a small snack to tackle their "hangry" feelings.

Our school previously had a snack program for students, but no longer offers this.

Currently I purchase items weekly on my personal Target runs within my own budget. I try to offer healthier options that give substance and meet their needs. The items chosen will offer them a more nutritious variety as well as adhere to their various allergy requirements.
