My Project

My students are AMAZING! They are creative, kind, and always strive to reach their full potential. Like all children, they benefit from encouragement and insight from their supports to figure out what their strengths are and how to tap into their potential. As a School Social Worker, I work closely with our students to build up their self esteem, self concept, and self determination.

We pride ourselves on giving our students all opportunities to reach their full potential and feel a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Help me give my students accessories to use with the Maker 3 to help foster their creativity and develop their social - emotional abilities.

I will utilize the maker accessories as a creative outlet for my students to design and create their own projects. The students would be able to create positive messages, projects, and opportunities for them to shine and thrive.
