My Students

"Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure science."-Edwin Hubble

Exciting news: our Title I Charter School has added more classes this year!

We have inclusive settings in our school, where general education students and students with disabilities are all fully integrated. Our students will be exploring math, science and the arts through STEM activities in our new grades. We are enthusiastic about giving our students a rich and meaningful experience through the activities in our curriculum.

My Project

This mobile trip will make a difference in my students' learning and improve their school lives by motivating and engaging them.

By combining Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math in a mobile trip, the students will experience the joy and wonder of learning at an impressionable age.

They will engage in hands-on, meaningful projects with this mobile trip.

The students will make a connection with learning and fun, and they will never forget this memorable experience.

The entire school will benefit from this mobile trip, and I'm sure we will create life-long learners who will wonder and marvel at our world!
