My Students

As we embark on a new school year, this one is incredibly different than any other. With whether we are going back in person or staying virtual, my incoming scholars will need resources and supplies to help instruction and learning take place, regardless of location. The scholars I serve are from low-income families. Often times my scholars have seen and dealt with traumas. Our school community is working hard to build relationships between school-home-businesses to work together to educate and grow our scholars.

Knowing this group of scholars from seeing them at school every day last year, this group of scholars are eager and thrive when they have the resources available to them.

I already know this group of scholars will be the most special group of kids I have taught in my career. Building a family community and a safe place will be crucial. We will embark on this school year together.

My Project

With the air purifier and UV disinfectant light, my scholars and I can navigate and exist in our classroom with minimal fear of germs. With so many unknowns with schools not in session, it is imperative that teachers are equipped with the tools necessary to help ease the fear and worry in our scholars by maintaining clean and safe rooms for our scholars each day.

These tools will transform our classroom to a safe environment for learning, discovery, and transformation this year.

With your help, these tools will make a huge difference in my scholar's lives by keeping us safe, healthy, and eager to learn.
