My Students

The students here at our school come from a rural community that stretches approximately 20 miles north and south of the school. Coming to school is a joy for them, and to be able to see and hang out with their friends is important to their social development. They are a bright, ambitious, creative and curious little group of boys and girls.

One of the unique things about our school is the beauty of sitting next to a lagoon that offers our school kayaking and canoeing.

It is a wonderful area to explore nature. This gives the kids the opportunity to be physically active and hearty and to have a special love and knowledge of nature.

My Project

Things have been quite chaotic and unusual for students during the "pandemic". Unfortunately, the students have had limited access to the library.

Because of this, I would like to provide some fun and crafty books and novels for the students to use at home and school.

I feel that a few craft books and exciting reads will help to take their minds off the trying times.

I was not able to order certain books because of shortages and shipping problems, but hopefully these books will be funded. Thank you in advance for your support.
