My Students

Our school has a long history embedded into the community we serve. Students are excited to attend school where many of their parents and even grandparents went before them. I have an exciting opportunity to start a STEAM Resource program for the first time! When you walk into my classroom you won't see students sitting in desks diligently taking notes, instead you'll see students brainstorming ideas, drawing images, building models, testing their solution, and more!

My students are spunky, inquisitive, and hardworking.

"I never knew school could be this fun!" a student shouted to a group member as they were working on a STEAM project. It is moments like these that push me to ensure that my students always have opportunities for hands-on, real-life learning experiences. It is wonderful donors, like yourself, that can help me to provide these experiences to our youngest learners!

My Project

Our current school year is winding down and I've found that we're quickly running out of supplies for next year. I want my students to start the school year off strong with our most basic STEAM supplies. In order to make that happen we need dry erase markers and lego supplies. The dry erase markers will allow students to develop their plans. Every good STEAM project starts with a plan, and the dry erase markers will allow students to draw and label their plans before building. If you ask students what their favorite thing to do in STEAM is, you will definitely hear enthusiastic shrills of, "LEGOS!". This building material is a fan favorite across grade levels. They allow students to explore their imaginations and make anything come to life. The hardest part about legos? Those tiny pieces get misplaced so easily. Our lego supplies are depleting, but with your donation, we can beef up our supply for the new school year! Students will have the opportunity to make their plans come to life once again. We'll have lego villages, planes, animals, and more! We would appreciate your support in starting our 2018-2019 school year off with a bang!
