My Students

Everyday, students come to school and continue the legacy of our school's name sake by advancing their own lives through the pursuit of education. They show up ready to work hard and apply for college. The majority of students qualify for free or reduced price lunch programs, SAT fee waivers, and other financial assistance to access some of the most basic needs to further their education.

However, they don't let these obstacles stop them, they persist and live up to our school's motto, "Without struggle, there is no progress." and are stronger individuals for it.

My Project

All students should have access to great stories that show them all sorts of possibilities -- from far off fantastical words to the world they live in now. I've worked hard to make sure that different kinds of books are available for my students to read independently, but as the collection has grown, the need to have an organizational system is more paramount than ever!

By creating a way for students to access books easily and on their own, we are growing their ability to be independent people as well as readers!

The supplies being requested are meant to allow a student to check out and return books as well as leave behind their own impressions of the books!
