My Students

Allow me to introduce you to our classroom family.

This classroom community is resilient; they are hardworking, determined, confident, and compassionate.

These learners ask questions, they question the answers, they do their own research, they take risks, they support each other, they cheer each other on, and they work extremely well together.

These learners are a classroom family.

My Project

Due to Covid-19, our classroom snacks must be served in individually wrapped packages this school year.

This school policy Is absolutely understandable and it is doable; it does, however, put a dent in our classroom snack budget.

Individually packaged snacks are more pricey than the snacks we have been able to previously purchase in bulk; we would like to be able to continue our practice of generously fueling both our mind ...and our body.

We have a classroom goal to keep our snack cupboard stocked with fuel for learning; your support is sincerely appreciated by all of our learners.
