My Project

It's cold outside and our area is experiencing a degree of cold weather that is not normal. Our students are standing outside waiting for buses or walking through howling winds to get to school. Our classroom doesn't have a thermostat that we can control. It takes a while for the classroom to heat up and some days it doesn't happen. I'm requesting a portable heater that is safe to use in a classroom and hat/scarf/glove sets for warmth. This heater is portable and light in weight so it can be moved to the back of the room where we have small groups. The hat/scarf/glove sets are for added warmth which helps to improve student attendance because students mention they are cold or don't have warm clothes.

If the world is cold, make it your business to build warmth!

Our core values of academics, community, pride, and justice allow us to advocate for all within this urban neighborhood by extending compassion and partnering with families to nurture lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and responsible citizens through STEM/STEAM, performing arts, visual arts, athletics, coding, computer science (CS), financial literacy, and mental health/social-emotional learning (SEL). We receive federal funding for programs that provide free breakfast/lunch for every student and Title I services to economically disadvantaged individuals. Our inclusive class serves military families, gifted/talented students, ESL/ELL students, special education students, and tech-savvy students.
