My Project

Hi! I am a 8th grade Social Studies teacher in Philadelphia. The items I am requesting will allow me to create a Chess club, 24 math club and Debate club at my school. These clubs will offer are students an opportunity to improve critical thinking skills, social skills, problem solving skills, and patience. These items will also allow my students the materials to practice and prepare for tournaments and invitationals. My students are amazing because they want to learn and deserve to be exposed to organized academic competition.

Our middle school students are at a critical juncture in their educational journey, where the right support can make a significant impact on their future success.

With adequate funding, we can implement initiatives that enrich their learning experiences, promote holistic development, and create a nurturing environment that fosters a love for education.
