Class Description:
I teach four 8th grade physical science classes and one forensics exploratory class. We are blessed to participate in the AMSTI initiative, so my students spend at least 3 days a week in the lab.

teacher
Needs:
I need technology and forensics equipment. I wish to promote learn and serve activities in our school, so many of my needed items deal with community service.
My Philosophy:
Give thanks constantly and enjoy life, share what you have, and pray for anything. Always ask for what you want-the worst that can happen is that someone will say no.
