My Project

I am certain that despite the gravity of the circumstance, my students will somehow recover. Constant local catastrophes occur in our region. They frequently participate in exercises in preparation for such occasions. My students are diligently preparing to complete their senior year of secondary school.

What I do know is in the event of a local disaster, my students will have to start back over.

They will require restart paper, presentation binders, jump drives, water, paper towels, disinfectant swabs, and a refrigerator in order to reestablish the motivation to learn following a weather-related setback. The students will place their résumé in the presentation binders. Their resumes will be printed on the résumé paper. They can utilize jump drives to back up their coursework and endeavors. The refrigerator will be used to store the water. The desk areas will be disinfected with paper towels, while the disinfectant spray will assist in warding off pathogens.
