My students come to school with a strong desire to learn and achieve their very best. They are sweet, smart, and hard-working. Each of them comes from a low socioeconomic background, resulting in our school having an extremely high poverty rate. Our students receive 100% free breakfast, lunch, and dinner, if they stay for the after-school program. We have the highest rate of English language learners (ELL) in the state and have a high number of special education students. Unfortunately, due to lack of funding, many of the basic classroom supplies, such as manipulative and other tools, that these students need to be successful learners are not available. Despite these challenges, my students love school and come every day with a smile.
