My Students

My students come to school because every day is a day to become a better person.

My students are 4, 5 and 6-year-olds who are very eager to learn.

Most of them come from low income families with only one parent who is struggling to hold the family together. They struggle academically, have emotional and social challenges, and many suffer from family issues that are out of their control. They live in a neighborhood where two-thirds of family household income is below the federal poverty threshold and resources are not available for them.

My Project

As my students are still virtual learning, they are in need of materials for at home to complete their assignments. These materials will be used daily for ELA and Math. I want all my students to be successful no matter where they are learning.

With your help, I will be able to send my students some crayons, pencils, paper, glue sticks, dice, linking cubes, number lines, letter tiles, white boards, and dry erase markers.

My students are more engaged and get their work completed when they have the correct materials to be able to do so.
