My Project

My students are an extraordinary group of kids. They come to school each day ready and eager to learn whether they are remote or in person. For many of them, school is not just a place to learn, but it also is what many of them would consider a place that feels like home. Especially with all that has been going on in the world, they continue to work hard and give it all they have!

They are resilient, resourceful, and passionate when it comes to learning.

Even though school looks different than what they are used to, they are trying the very best they can. They are students who are eager to learn and want to be the best version of themselves. All of them have goals of one day going to college, and most importantly having strong careers! They don't allow the outside influences of their environment to affect their learning and eagerness to learn. They are typical kids, in an area that forces kids to grow up quickly. Most of all, they care about school, and come each day eager and willing! What more could a teacher ask for!

We would like to try and alleviate some of these stresses for our students and our parents.

The materials being requested would be used for every day use in the classroom. The pencils, markers, erasers, dry erase marker, notebooks, and folders would all be used by the students each day. This would alleviate the burden parents have of having to buy school supplies each year, especially when they have multiple children in school. We are also requesting some basic cleaning supplies to ensure that we have a germ-free environment!
