My Students

I work in the most economically depressed area in our nation. Most of my students' families fall below the poverty line. Many are on public assistance; many others are barely surviving. Yet, my students are expected to meet the same educational standards as more affluent students of New York do.

Our students are given research projects that require that they have access to computers and printers.

Less than 25% of our students have computers with Internet access at home. They must rely on the school's resources to complete their assignments. Unfortunately, our school has only one computer lab that is already overburdened. Our equipment is old and often breaks-down due to over-usage. And most of our students do not have access to the lab during the school day as it is in constant use. My project will give students an opportunity to produce research projects and class assignments by placing computers in the classroom for their use. A complete HP desktop bundle will give them an alternative way to ensure that they can complete their projects.

My Project

The research assignments I give my students are designed to prepare them for what they will do in college. They are not just about gathering information, but rather organizing, presenting and communicating what they have learned to others. The HP desktop computer printer will also provide my students with the ability to access diagrams, charts and other resource materials that will enhance the learning process. Many of my students are classified as Special Needs or English Language Learners. They need additional resources to understand the complex concepts discussed in biology. And lastly, as my school is located in an area known as "Asthma Alley", absenteeism due to asthma attacks is quite high. Access to a computer will let me to copy and print my personal lesson plan/notes for students who could not attend class. This will ensure that they have access to the same material as everyone else.

My job is to do everything in my power to help our students graduate high school and advance to college.

Help me help those most in need to succeed. Help me get a HP desktop computer for my students. Thank you for your generosity!
