My Project

Serving students in 7th and 8th grade, the student/teacher ratio is roughly 20 to 1. There are over 500 students at the school, with a large portion of students who come from bilingual households. Each year, a small portion of students start the school year unable to speak or understand the English language. Students are mostly from low to moderately low-income homes, making 98% of students eligible for free lunch.

Our scholars are compassionate, caring, and resilient learners.

They face challenges, like struggles with literacy, but always come to school ready to take on any obstacles that stand in their way. A great education is part of the foundation of life success that I encourage my students to build upon. Providing students with access to fidget spinners to help with anxiety and social emotional challenges.

The funding of this project will make a huge difference in my students' learning and focus. There are two separate reasons for funding this project: hygiene products, snacks and incentives for academic motivation.

A well-stocked classroom fosters a conducive learning environment, promotes engagement, and empowers students with the necessary resources to explore, create, and excel in their academic journey. These items z and more will help students with the tools to empower them on their educational journey.

Incentives in class serve as powerful motivators, encouraging active participation, fostering a positive learning atmosphere, and rewarding students for their efforts, ultimately enhancing overall academic performance. Snacks and other rewards help to foster a learning environment that is warm and caring.

Thank you for helping me achieve my classroom goals.
