My students are a remarkable group of young people. They are intriguing, intelligent, wise, witty, and inquisitive individuals with an attraction for hands-on gadgets. While the aforementioned superlatives are rarely assigned to middle school students in the impoverished region of Georgia that my students call home, these attributes accurately describe my young scholars. School wide, our students face a seemingly overwhelming economic challenge which is evidenced by the fact that our school was approved for 100% of our population to receive free breakfast and lunch. My students have had an inconsistent history of success in math as measured by the state's standardized test. My scholars are determined to ensure that the predicaments of their past and present won't foretell their future. This year they are poised to change the course of their scholastic and economic history by committing to close the gap between their academic potential and their academic output.
