My Students
Our school is located in Brooklyn. Whatever people might think of our area, yuppies, hipsters and trust funds, that is NOT our school by a long shot.
We are a Title I school, a classification recognizing that the vast majority of our students and their families are economically challenged.
With nearly 1,500 students in grades 6 through 8, over 60% identify as Hispanic or Latino, and about 18% of our students identify as Black or African American. A lot of our kids live in public housing.
We have a significant immigrant community, with many students being immigrants themselves, the child or grandchild of immigrants. About 1 in 20 of our students are so recently arrived that they are in English Language Learner (ELL) supplemental classes. About 1 in 6 of our students have modifications to their educational programs because of their physical, emotional or academic challenges and special needs.
Our students often do not have basic supplies. Their families are hard-working, sometimes struggling, but nearly all are committed to their child’s academic success, whatever their economic conditions.
My Project
Students' work needs celebrating! Our students do amazing jobs writing, creating and developing essays, science projects, PowerPoints, and other reports and presentations.
Our printer cartridge is necessary for students' work to be printed, shared and discussed.
Though we try to minimize paper and printing, we still need to print documents. Even so, with a school as large as ours, the printing demands can be formidable.
We need happy faces proud of essays. We want students to share their thoughts and ideas. We need to provide students with teacher-created written materials that do not come from a text-book.
We desperately need your help in purchasing these printer cartridges!
More than half of students from low‑income households
