We are an urban school in Indianapolis, Indiana. The families in our community are great and value a rich school experience for their children. The students in my school have very limited resources at home and do not have much exposure to many experiences outside of school. My students are very eager to learn new things and grow as scholars. They devour new opportunities and information with an awe inspiring eagerness. While reading many of my students write down important facts they learn while reading and researching that they don't want to forget. They hang-on to these notes for future reference and pull them out to share. Our students are eager to succeed both in and outside of school. A donation to our project helps give our students the much needed resources we need to give them desired opportunities and resources.
