My Students

Our student population is racially and ethnically diverse. Over 20% are in ELL and/or Indian Education or SPED programs. We have students from Somalia, China, the Philippines, Vietnam, as well as Natives from rural Alaska. My students can't afford field trips so we take field trips on the playground when the weather is good. School is everything for them.

I work with a group of students who come to the library during recess because they do not have the proper winter gear.

They have wonderful, warm smiles and they try very hard to learn but they struggle because they have essential needs that are not being met by our school.

My students are wonderful kids. Most of them are economically disadvantaged. All of them are eligible for free breakfast and lunch. My school has a tradition of being a neighborhood school, but it is now a school in transition. Nearly 1/4 of the families now receive Supplemental Social Security Income or Public Assistance. They are struggling to stay above the poverty line.

My Project

This opportunity is just what I have been dreaming about. I have a lunch bunch everyday in the library. These are kids who cannot go outside for recess because they do not have the proper winter gear. I am asking for two packs of fleece lined gloves, 10 knitted winter hats, and twelves pairs of sweat pants in assorted sizes for these kids. The hats, pants and gloves are going to enable my lunch bunch to actually go outside for recess. This is going to be a total game changer for them.

My lunch buddies need warm clothes so they can go out for recess with the rest of their friends.

Currently they have to sit in the library because they are missing some essential cold weather gear.

My at-risk students try very hard in school and they need to be able to take a break at recess and go outside, get some fresh air and play. Then they will be able to come back refreshed and ready to learn all afternoon long.

Please help my students. Give them a chance with your donation.
