Hello and welcome to my donors choose page! I have been a teacher for 15 years now and I am now in my tenth year at the STEM Academy in Lowell, Massachusetts. Originally, we were used as an overflow school because there wasn't enough room for Kindergarten and first graders in the district. Because we were known throughout the district as "not being a real school", we were not given the necessary money to properly fund and run a school. We were forced to be creative and often spend our own money on our students. Over the past few years we have begun transitioning into a STEM school and have been playing catch up when it comes to school supplies the whole time. Over the years we have built up our school to now be one of the biggest schools in Lowell and we're still growing. We are dedicated to providing our students with the skills they will need to be fantastic lifelong learners.
