My Students

This year I am teaching 30 high fourth graders. I teach in a Title I school, located in a very high-poverty and high-crime area of Pennsylvania.

All of my students receive free breakfast and lunch.

Many of my students come from homes where English is not spoken. I have eight special education students and five ESL (English as a Second Language) students in my classroom. Many of my students in my classroom have an in-class social worker. I would appreciate as much support as I can get for my little ones. Thank you in advance.

My Project

We have currently run out of ink for our classroom computer.

In order for my students to print their weekly story books to take home for homework they need black as well as colored ink.

My students also need ink to print out their homework sheets that go with their reading stories.

Please consider helping out my 30 first graders get homework books and worksheets at their current reading level. Your support would mean the world to us.

Thanks so much for your great assistance. We really need your support since our ink supply is depleted. Thanks again for your kindness.
