My Students

Our school proudly represents an international community that speaks many languages and represents many cultures. Our multicultural mosaic gives our school a global perspective with high expectations for academic success. The students are highly motivated; the families of these children expect a guarantee of success. To assure the children's academic success, it is vital to provide only the best resources possible.

Students can only achieve if they have the necessary tools to do so.

The families of our children have sacrificed much to be in this country, and the children hope to fulfill their families' dreams for success. For that reason, we try to bring the best resources to our students in the hopes of realizing high expectations that will lay a foundation for future opportunities.

My Project

What child doesn't like to paint?

Having paint on hand, which the kids love to use, will make their art experience that much richer.

Regular paper does not hold paint well.

Thicker paper means the paint will not make a hole in the paper which ultimately results in a beautiful looking artwork.

Students get super excited when they see paint being taken out. Biggie cakes is a form of solid tempera paint. Painting with biggie cakes makes painting so much easier for students to manage. The clean up is so much quicker and easier with less mess and less stress.
