My Students

Our school is located in Harlem and serves a predominantly African American and Hispanic population. Although most of our students enter first grade reading far below grade level, they usually make great strides in reading progress with a whole school literacy focus.

I teach at a Title I-funded school in NYC where 100% of our children receive free breakfast and lunch.

Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn. Many of them want to be the first in their families to go to college.

My Project

The classroom supplies that I am requesting are essential in our everyday routine and will greatly benefit my students’ academic performance by having access to the materials they need. My students use pencils for daily class work in all subjects. They use papers for writing and drawing.

The school supplies donated will help to ease the financial burdens of the parents and will help to ensure that the students have all they need to do their classroom assignments.

Help me to get the students back on track with one less thing to worry about- school supplies.
