I have 22 learning disabled, students and 2 emotionally disabled students. Our school is a public charter school. Our building used to be a casino and strip mall. We do not have a cafeteria or bus transportation. This is the fourth year for our school. Our 280 students have a lot of pride. We were started for the community by the community. The students and parents clock many volunteer hours. Our school has football, wrestling, swimming, basketball, girls tennis, golf, volleyball, baseball and softball. This year we also had a very competitive academic team. We are still not able to offer any vocational classes.

Interrrelated Resource Teacher
Needs:
I would like to have photography software and at least one camera to work with my students. I have 7 students who are interested in photography or the arts.
My Philosophy:
I encourage my students to plan for college or a career. All students have some talent and I hope to make them aware of their talent and develop or enhance their talent. I like to expose my students to different ideas and encourage them to have more than one interest. I try to be a positive influence on my students and let them know I care. I want my students to become productive, responsible and curious citizens.
