My Students

Between Gandhi's infamous quote, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world" and Disney Planet Challenge motto, "Imagine Your Planet," my students have been inspired to be the change they wish to see in their planet.

I teach at a fine and performing arts charter school in Michigan, a state with a rather large unemployment rate.

Some of my students have parents who have been laid off for years. They are struggling more than they ever have before. However, you would not know it if you met my students. They remain optimistic and have an unbelievable zest for life.

My Project

We are requesting a Water Quality Test Kit to test the water in our state (the Great Lakes State). We are also going to have other classes throughout the country use part of this kit to test water quality near them. We will then graph the data comparing the quality of water based on regions of the country and community type (urban, suburban, and rural). Additionally, the students are performing a play for the school about the negative effects that pollution can have. The easel, paint, canvases, and paintbrushes we are requesting will allow them to create a set for this play.

When students are inspired, it is my job as their educator to do everything I can to foster that passion.

My students want to see their state, the "Great Lakes State" have great, PURE lakes once again. This project is important because it has the potential to change the way people feel about and deal with pollution. Perhaps more importantly, it will change the way students view their role on our planet.
