My Students

Students apply to our specialty school from every part of Richmond City, making our school uniquely-diversified.

Students and parents have sacrificed and achieved so much before ever reaching our doors.

We are humbled that they've chosen our school and inspired by their trajectories.

My Project

We'll spend our year masked, awkwardly distanced and with the hum of a large air-purifier (which we're grateful for) in our room. With portable, water-proof chairs and storage-clipboards my students can have class outside on the school grounds and the adjacent park.

It would be so nice to take class outside and get a break from the masks and incorporate some of our surroundings into our math class.

These clipboards are large enough to hold our math workbooks and pencils. The collapsible chairs will let us sit outside, even when the ground is damp. Help us get outside, thank you!
