My Students

I am currently entering my 4th year teaching. We work to improve the literacy and writing abilities of students in the Houston area. Many of our students work diligently to be the first high school and college graduates in their family. I am confident that they can achieve their goals.

My students are low income, intellegent scholars that are on their way to achieve greatness.

They work hard everyday to make progress towards their lifetime goals of achievement. We truly appreciate your support!

My Project

My students are so invested in their learning. Unfortunately, many of them are more than two grade levels behind peers in their age group. Through all of the difficulties, they work extremely hard to fill those gaps and learn to the best of their ability.

Quality education begins with literacy.

This project will give scholars the opportunity to read texts that are diverse, interesting, and relatable. Many scholars do not have access to these rich texts at home, and our school doesn't have a librarian currently. These books will be used to encourage reading outside of the classroom daily, and will ultimately push students to become stronger readers.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
