My Students

Our Chicago school district is full of special, diverse, and unique children with needs that mirror this. Due to poor budgeting students like mine suffer from inadequate resources like crowded classrooms and never enough technological equipment.

My students are very eager to learn and very excited about kindergarten.

84 percent of our students come from low-income homes and most students live in a neighborhood that is high in violence and crime. Despite their circumstances they are ready to learn and grow this year!

My Project

I'm getting ready for the 2019-2020 school year! With the beginning of a new school year, the students feel excited to come back to school, but the parents might start to feel more stress than excitement. The parents have to worry about purchasing school uniforms, school shoes, and school supplies. I'm requesting supplies for the new school year.

I'm requesting the basic supplies--crayons, dry erase markers, and pencils.

By fulfilling this project I will be able to help take some of the burden off my parents for the new year. The students will be able to have the necessary supplies they need to start the school year!
