Paper and Ink

My students need copy paper and ink for our class and grade. Our school does not have the money in the budget for these materials and our families can not afford to send in these items.

My Students

My students walk into our classroom every excited for what is in store for them that day. I want them to know I believe in them and they can be anything they want to be if they believe in hard work and determination.

I teach at a Title I school in Brooklyn, NY, 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.

Despite so many hardships, my students are determined to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can so they can be a president, a photographer, or an astronaut. They know the possibilities are endless.

My Project

Our budget has been drastically cut in the past year. Without the help of generous donors, we can not afford even the most basic supplies. Please help me to get my students the supplies we need for a successful year. We need vTest practice books are not easily ready and I need to print and photo copy materials for my students to practice. Please help my students be successful. I do what I can, and so do my parents, but our families can not afford to help with these pricier items. My students and I truly appreciate anything that you can donate towards our project and we will share with other classes as well.
