My Students

Our high school is an urban school in Staten Island, New York that educates a diverse population. Many of my students face socio-economic, racial and financial problems. Many of the students live at or near the poverty line and one third of the population is special education.

Once you step foot into the building, you can understand how meaningful our Warrior mascot truly is.

Despite all these issues that our students face, the spirit of the school is to keep going and to warrior though problems that they may face.

Not only do the students fight through their own problems, but they also have a spirit of activism. The student body at our high school is one of the most welcoming and accepting student bodies in America.

My Project

I am requesting a class subscription to The New York Times Upfront. This high-interest magazine will help our students stay engaged in current events. Teaching students about global affairs is an important aspect of becoming a good citizen. We will use this project to connect to fictional texts and essay writing.

This magazine will not only keep our students informed, but will also develop skills needed to pass the NYS Common core regents.

In supporting our project, you will help our students' strong spirit of activism.

We are very excited about this project and are looking forward to using this project to spark our students' interest about current issues. Thank you in advance for all your help!
