My Students

Our school is home to over 800 elementary school students who are in grades Pre-K through 6th. Our typical kids and teens enjoy music, being creative, hands-on activities, and socializing as most youth do.

As a Special Education teacher, my goal is to help students strive for absolute greatness through working very hard, staying focused, and doing their very best each and every single day.

They are capable of greatness and will achieve with their village behind them every step of the way.

My Project

We can all agree that this has been a tough year. With school starting back up soon, I am looking for ways to celebrate my students and help them enjoy their school year. What better way to celebrate students than to reward them with personalized pencils? The personalized pencils will be given to students for positive behavior, good grades, following directions, holidays, and just for being amazing kids. To create our personalized pencils, we will need a pencil press, pencils, and colored foil. Thank you for helping us have a great school year with our personalized items.
