My Students

Every morning I come to work and greet 30 young minds in the hopes they leave at the end of the day, just a little bit wiser, a little bit stronger, a little bit more confident. More than 75% of my students come from families who struggle day after day just to put food on the table. My students come to school hungry for food and hungry to learn. These students often step into their education lives, with limited knowledge of the content areas, yet are asked to perform and rise above high expectations.

"Education breeds confidence, Confidence breeds hope, Hope breeds peace" (Confucius).

My students work hard every single day to overcome social, economic, and academic obstacles. These beautiful young minds deserve every opportunity to achieve their wildest dreams.

My Project

"A book is a gift you can open again and again." I believe in the fundamentals of reading and writing. I believe the more you read, the more you grow as an individual. My students deserve the chance to have books in their hands.

Students find community within the classroom when they read and discuss books together.

Students build knowledge through these conversations. When children read together, they learn together and they learn to love books

While parents struggle to make ends meet, extra money for novels is not always available. I want to give each and every student the opportunity to get their hands on a book and become excited to read with their peers.
