My Students

My students are unique in their own way. Each of them have their own story to what has brought them to our charter school. It is a struggle for some of them to get supplies for school, due to having to help with younger siblings or working.

They live in inner city and want to be treated just like all other students with a good education that they deserve.

Each of these students are no different than you and I.

My Project

Donations that are made to our classroom will help the students have supplies that they need to be successful within our classroom. These supplies are needed to set up interactive notebooks in creative ways and having basic classroom needs. By having our basic supplies students will be able to focus on learning Math.

By donating to our classroom you are helping students take math to an interactive level, which increases student attention and focus.

Students will be able to focus on the work at hand instead of worrying about if they have the supplies to make this interactive learning to happen. The pencils, staples and paper that I am requesting will allow my students to be successful daily.
