My Students

My students are incredible. I could never describe them in one word. They are students that come from low-income families and have a wide range of special needs.

These students never let their disability stop them from reaching their goals.

They work hard, harder than an average student. We have a lot of fun together and they truly are "my kids." They make me want to be a better teacher every day and I am always looking for ways to help them.

My Project

My middle school students really need a library make over. I need to create a space for them that promotes good reading habits and encourages them to get lost in a good book.

Our current library is old and geared to younger students.

It is not inviting to our middle school students. I want to be able to create an school library that my students will never want to to leave. If they don't want to leave the library than they will read more and more and that would be amazing.

Please help us create a library that will be so inviting that my students will become lost in their books.
