My Students

My students are the future of America. They are the next police officers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, politicians, and more. My 6th and 7th graders are ready to take on the challenge of making the world a better place. They wake up every day ready to learn and put forth their best effort.

We are a Title I school and many of our students cannot afford the supplies necessary for a successful school experience.

My students also receive breakfast and lunch daily to help alleviate their worry about affording meals.

My students deserve adequate supplies to help them achieve their highest potential. They should be spending their time on their education and learning everything necessary to become successful, productive citizens.

My Project

These materials will help students engage in their curriculum. The lined paper and pencils will help them draft their stories and essays. The ink and paper will help them print out a finished product, giving them a sense of accomplishment. The paper and art supplies will help students illustrate their work and make it more visually appealing.

Organization helps students succeed.

The folders will help my students organize items and waste less time looking for what they need.

Mathematics problems are often difficult to solve without proper alignment. The graph paper will help students solve mathematics problems and ensure their lined up properly. The chart paper will help my students to create anchor charts to give them a visual of the skills and formulas they need to remember to be successful.
