    Funded Jul 28, 2019

    Thank you for your generosity and your support in shaping the minds of our future.

Additionally, I’d like to thank Donors Choose for creating such a platform for teachers.”

  • The World Around Us!

    Funded Jul 3, 2018

    Thank you again for your support in the form of a donation. Your generosity has afforded my students the opportunity to learn about cultures other than their own.

    Learning about different cultures is extremely important for all learned, especially those who may not have the ability to travel and have a very limited scope of the size of the world in which they live. Having been raised in a similar socio-economic setting, my view of the world was magnified exponentially when I began to travel. With your gift, my students get a reprieve from South Central Los Angeles, however briefly.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Talley

My classroom is comprised of 30 eager learners of all types. We are located in the socio-economically disadvantaged area of South LA. I, myself, reside in Reseda but I commute to this area to help learners from backgrounds such as mine. I was born and raised in the public housing projects of Chicago, Il. Like myself, my students live within communities plagued with gang, drugs and violence. It took a lot for me to make it out of my environment, physically and mentally. My students are actively facing similar challenges. it is my goal to provide them with a classroom environment and learning experience that stokes their creative fires, while making them feel safe and daring them to dream. We are grateful for what we have and even more for what we receive.
