My Students

I am a second grade special education teacher teaching in a low-income neighborhood. My students are composed of new immigrants from China and families with low-income. Families in this community rely heavily on schools to help care for their children while they work long hours to make ends meet. These children depend on schools for their essential needs such as health and food.

Moreover, my students have special needs, compounded with this pandemic, it leads to a more difficult and frustrating situation when the students come back to school.

My Project

These air purifier filters will make a difference in my students' learning because they will eliminate most allergens and pollutants in the air. The paper towels will ensure that the furnitures and supplies are cleaned frequently. We need to eliminate the impurities in the air and keep things clean to help students stay healthy so they are ready to learn.

These essential needs will help my students feel a bit more safe when they come to school each day.

Furthermore, parents will feel a little bit more at ease knowing teachers and donors like you, care enough to take the first step to keep their kids safe and healthy.
