We are school with a very racially and economically diverse group of students. As with most schools in out district we have a great group of parents, students, and teachers. We all work together to over come challenges unique to us here, but we do not stop there. We also work hand in hand with our neighborhood communities and other out reach organizations to make our school a leader and an example by which other schools might follow. We have great pride in our school, much of which comes from having generation after generation from a same family, and we look for ways to improve the school for the next generation that will be coming down the line. I attended this school as a young person and now I work here as a teacher. Perhaps my favorite thing to do was the pottery wheel in the back of the art room. I learned many lessons from that broken down machine and looked forward to coming to school because of it. Sadly, at some point in the last 20 years, the wheel must have finally gave up its fight and is no longer here, however my budget does not come anywhere close to being able to replace such an item and continue to offer a complete Art experience. In my school I see almost 600 students in a year and have a budget of about $1000. This means I have about $1.66 per student to work with.
