My Project

I'm a history teacher at one of the most unique high schools in the country. We are a public HS specializing in teaching visual and performing arts, located near Lincoln Center in NYC. Our school provides conservatory curriculum in dance, visual art, acting, music, singing, and technical theater (computers, sound, stage, carpentry) in addition to rigorous academic classes. We have one of the longest school days in the nation for HS students with 10 periods a day, of which 2-3 periods are specifically for their artistic studio.

We are so fortunate to have a dual mission which supports students' traditional academic learning while nurturing their artistic passions.

Students attend our school from all 5 boroughs of NYC, and we also have many international students from all corners of the globe. We work hard to teach our diverse students as they grow into academic scholars and dedicated artists.

Now I am asking for your support in my classrooms. My students need basic supplies of chart paper, printer paper, and paper towels as our school does not provide these essentials to us or to students. In addition, I am asking for other materials like U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence booklets, a presenter remote, and adapters to help my classes learn from primary sources as well as PowerPoint presentations. Lastly, I am asking for candy to be used to give away to students during class games and competitions. I am going to be using these materials (and the candy) throughout the year to help motivate my students to learn as much as they can so they can succeed on their NY Regents and APUSH exams in the spring. Thank you so much for your support!
