My Students

This year I am teaching 30 high fourth graders. I teach in a Title I school, located in a very high-poverty and high-crime area of Pennsylvania.

All of my students receive free breakfast and lunch.

Many of my students come from homes where English is not spoken. I have eight special education students and five ESL (English as a Second Language) students in my classroom. Several of the students in my classroom have an in-class social worker. I would appreciate as much support as I can get for my little ones. Thank you in advance.

My Project

My students would benefit by getting hats and scarves for the upcoming winter.

Please support my fourth graders in getting life essential hats and scarves.

At the current time, none of my students wear hats or scarves to school. With winter quickly approaching, I would love if each of my students could get their very own winter gear.

I do not want my students to worry about getting cold this winter. I want them to focus on their studies instead.

Thanks so much for your support in getting my students these life essential hats and scarves. Your donation would be greatly appreciated.
