My students come from one of the most economically disadvantaged areas in Arkansas. Many come to us each day without having their most basic needs met: food, shelter, and safety. Our library is a safe place for all students.
My students know that if they need something, they can come to me and I'll make sure their needs are met, even if I have to run to the store and purchase it myself.
I want my students to always know that I'm going to help them any way I can.
Having an area where kids can come get what they need: a quick spray of deodorant after gym, a cough drop or bandaid, a safety pin or zip tie to.hold up pants that are too big. I know that when these needs are met, these students will be more likely to enter the classroom with a positive attitude, ready to learn. Help me level the playing field so all students can feel confident and cared for.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
