My Students

My students come from diverse backgrounds. A large portion of my school's population comes from poverty-stricken homes; poverty is their dark cloud. Their struggles are real. They are kids with hopes and dreams of making their lives better and bettering the future of their families.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of funding, our district continues to struggle to provide the bare necessities to our special needs children.

Our school is a place where the students are safe, loved, and most importantly educated. With the pandemic crisis we are facing, being in the classroom is constant for our students, but the materials for them are scarce.

I became a teacher, in part, to set a good example for children who need role models in their lives. My hope is that I'll have a lasting impact on them.

My Project

Our school community has been hit hard due to the Covid 19 pandemic. We are faced with a shortage of materials and the funding needed to purchase the additional math tools for our children to use in the classroom.

We are in desperate need of scientific calculators for our students so they can use them in the classroom.

Many of our students' families do not have the resources to purchase these calculators for their children to use in school. These scientific calculators will aid in the teaching of long division, fractions, decimals, percents and so much more.
