My Students

Our students come from all over the city. We are a magnet school with medical infusion. Most our students go into the medical field for college and career. Our school is in a poverty stricken urban setting. In spite of the surroundings, our students do excel and come back with profession that help our city.

Unfortunately, our school budget has been cut so we do not have the necessary tools needed to assist our students.

With the help of Donors Choose our students will be able accomplish their goals.

My Project

This project will support the cooking culture piece to complement our Spanish class. Because we are a medical magnet school, our students also learn medical terms in Spanish. Besides learning the language, our students learn the culture through cooking.

Our students need cooking utensils including a food processor, plastic plates and cutlery, knives, cookware, aprons, and dishwasher fluid, to complete our Spanish Culture cooking class.

With these items, we will be able to create, taste and share in the Spanish cooking culture. Many of our students have not been taught to cook and create dishes from other cultures. This class is one of its kind and we need Donors Choose to help us.
