My Students

I teach a prep called Academic Enrichment to students in grades K through 8. The students in my classes range from age 5 -15. My school is a Title I school where 100% of the students receive free breakfast and lunch. My school is located in a high poverty area in Pennsylvania.

In my classes, we work on basic skills in both reading and math.

Despite the struggles and lack of materials, the students come to school willing and ready to learn.

My Project

We need basic supplies to complete this year successfully.

The students often come to my class without supplies and I would love to be able to supply them with pencils, erasers, a sharpener, dry erase markers with erasers and paper.

They will be using the pencils and paper to complete math and reading assignments. The white boards supplies will also be used for group activities.

Please considering helping out my students in getting these necessary materials that they need for the rest of the year. Your donation will make a big difference in the lives of 400 students. Thanks so much for your support.
