My Project

Our students come from a variety of different backgrounds. In our Passport Social Studies curriculum, Units 3 and 4 focus on the physical communities that students are living in, such as the city of New York or the world itself. Our school has very few physical maps. Our students are mostly visual and tactile learners and we believe that there would be no better way to enhance students' learning experiences towards the world than giving them physical maps to learn about the world that they live in. Your contribution would help ensure the path for our students in becoming global citizens.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
