My Students

"Economically Challenged Yet Passionate About Going to College!" My students are some of the best students a teacher could ask for. They are so well mannered and they appreciate a classroom culture with structure, discipline, high expectations, and tons of "Motherly Love". I work with the AVID 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students that mainly come from well-educated homes, but may face some economic disadvantages. What is AVID? AVID means Advance Via Individual Determination. Regardless of their life circumstances, AVID students overcome obstacles and achieve success. They graduate and attend college at higher rates, but more importantly, they can think critically, collaborate, and set high expectations to confidently conquer the challenges that await them. With all the odds against them, they come to school every day with positive attitudes, a willingness to learn, and a passion for going to college!

My Project

Achieving "GREATNESS" while learning remotely during a pandemic has been a challenge for most students around the world. However, my scholars have risen to the occasion and beat the odds, by having the highest GPA in their prospective classes. My scholars have worked extremely hard all while being home alone, taking care of their siblings, being in a home where at least one parent has lost their job, or battling social and emotional issues.

With the odds stacked against them, they have proven every negative thing said against them, wrong!

I would love if you could support me in celebrating the "GREATNESS" of these young men and women. This proves that these scholars can do anything, if they put their minds to it. Let's show them their hard work has not gone unnoticed. Let's celebrate them and help encourage them to keep it up.
