My Students

My students and their families come from all over the world: we have students from Haiti, Jamaica, Yemen, Ethiopia, Trinidad, Bangladesh, Grenada, St. Lucia, The Dominican Republic, Mexico, The Philippines, and Egypt--to name a few! Many of them have only recently learned English or haven't been to school in several years, and almost all of our students have at least one family member who has trouble reading in English. Their parents have admitted that they don't know how to help their children with their schoolwork because of this, and this sense of isolation from their children is making them feel hopeless. Meanwhile, my students arrive at our school reading below grade level, and have few opportunities to read books at home.

My students want to explore the world, to go to college, and to find a career that can take them places.

Some have lived very challenging lives already, but all of them are eager to move forward. Many of them say that they wish they were smarter, or they wish the class was easier, but they are all learning that hard work itself will make them brilliant.

My Project

Increasing the size of our classroom library will allow them to take books they can read at home or on the bus instead of playing video games. They will be able to read for hours each night--exactly what they will have to do in college!

Giving my students access to these books will help them on their college applications, but more importantly, it will allow books and reading to be a part of their lives.

Next time you see a teenager, imagine him sticking a book into his back pocket, excited to read it when he gets home. You can make this happen!
