My Project

I teach in a title 1 school where our budget has been greatly affected. We have lost millions of dollars and will be struggling to make do with the basics that we have. One thing that was cut from our budget this year was take home folders. Without these folders, students will not be able to keep track of their school papers as well as their homework. It is very difficult for our parents to purchase school materials so we are in desperate need.

Additionally, our school's copy paper limit is severely depleted.

Without the paper being available, teachers will not be able to copy and have their lessons ready for each day.

This project is going to benefit my entire school, not just my own classroom. In these tough times we need to work together and I am hopeful that you will want to see the children in our school succeed.
