My Students

Worrying about food, money, transportation, and clothing are adult worries, yet many of the students at my school face these "grown-up" problems each day. In spite of the challenges they face, my students constantly rise to the occasion and frequently blow me away with their ability to learn.

My students come from a wide variety of backgrounds.

Some have and some do not. It is my job to level their playing field so that all have a chance to be successful. Through hands-on, exciting and active assessment, all students in my second grade, inner-city classroom prove themselves time and time again.

My Project

Each year I mentor a group of 5th grade boys in our school. I teach units on manners, respect for others, responsibility, financial literacy, and service to the community. Through this project, I am hoping to accomplish all of these goals in one year long unit. After surveying the boys from years past, I know that they love to paint. I often have a painting lesson as part of our meetings. Next year, I am hoping to teach students how to paint multiple pictures, then create an art gallery for them to sell their pieces. The money earned through their gallery will then be used to give back to the community. It is a win win project because it integrates a variety of life skills, and it will be super fun for all! I am hoping that PwC will see this project and partner with me as I seek to grow young minds in the area of financial literacy and community partnership. The items requested, paint, brushes, canvases, smocks and table top easels will provide us with everything we need!

My kids are the best!

They deserve the best in every aspect of life, especially in their education. Help me to help them achieve their best by partnering with me to get them these needed items for our classroom. You will be helping this class of students and many more students to come. Thanks in advance for your generous support!
