My Students

I will have 29 third graders for the 2016-2017 school year. We are a Title I school and have a large majority of students on free/reduced lunch.

My school has over 300 student and focuses on student success and academic achievement.

They typically come from single-parent households. My students are hard working, creative, and excited to learn. They challenge me as a teacher to be the best I can be. I am here to help them succeed, regardless of our challenges.

My Project

My students are just starting to grow in technology and have recently been given a Chromebook to use throughout the day but we are struggling with storage. They don't fit into our desks and are often falling off desks onto the floor.

My students are struggling for desktop space so we are begging for a classroom set of seat sacks.

With 29 students in one classroom, we need all the space we can get and we need your help! We can use the seat sacks to store supplies, chapter books, and their Chromebooks! Please help us get organized to achieve and succeed!
