Helping My Students With The Basics
Funded Dec 26, 2008
Words cannot express how GRATEFUL I am for your donation! The supplies provided through your donation will be used to assist in the education of great students. I have already informed my students of the proposal and the fact that it has been fulfilled. They would like for me to tell you THANK YOU! It is hard for many of them to believe that complete strangers took the time to provide much needed supplies for them to be able to do their daily work. As we begin our remediations and reviews for our standardized testing and our benchmark testing, we will think of your kindness that has made our supplies possible.
Thank you from Mrs. ”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Owens
This classroom project was brought to life by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and 6 other donors.

We can not learn without the basic foundation. I teach high schoolers, 9th-12th grades. My students are considered high risk for dropping out. Many of them want to succeed, but having paper and pencil for many of them is a challenge. Our school does not have a counselor, therefore I take on this task for free. I assist them with essays for colleges, correspondence work to earn credits if they are short for graduation, tutor after school with math, English, and other subjects, and help them complete all of their college admission processes from FAFSA to the application stage. These basic supplies would help them and me so much because they are embarrassed when they do not have pen and paper. I try to buy what I can, but in my state, my parish is the second poorest. We are paid at the bottom of the state. Please help me. Thank you.
