My Students

I teach 14-18-year-old young adults with a variety of interests at a career and technical education high school. My students are focusing their time in school on preparing for life after high school; that looks different for every student. We work with each student individually to help them communicate what their personal goals and visions for their futures are.

My students are looking forward to joining the workforce after high school.

All of my students participate in internships and jobs around our school building and in the community as part of their education. We also practice interviewing skills, job applications, cooking, cleaning, money, time, and functional writing skills.

Most of my students are looking forward to moving out of their parents' homes, working, and being involved in their community when they finish school. Others are looking to continue their education in a college or vocational/trade training program.

My Project

In this project I am asking for every day resources for our science classroom. The pencils, paper, notebooks, chromebook chargers, and expo markers will be used for every day learning for class activities. Students use multiple medias to access learning in our school, so having access to a charged laptop is just as important as having a pencil and paper to write with. We frequently switch back and forth as well as use all the materials together to learn in our classroom.

Our students success relies just as heavy on personal care products as it does on office supplies.

When a student does not have proper access to personal care products like masks, disinfecting wipes, maxi pads, hand lotion, granola bars, and tissues it can be difficult for them to focus and learn. Many of my students do not have access to these materials at home, the classroom can be a safe space for them where all their social/emotional needs are met.

Thank you for considering a donation to our classroom. My students and I greatly appreciate your dedication to supporting public education.
