My Students

Did you know that 84 languages are spoken in Buffalo public schools?! Buffalo is the second largest school district in NYS and the most linguistically diverse. BUILD is a Title 1 public school.

The students of my school were stuck in the city's lowest-performing school - but it has been re-opened with new staff, a new administration and a brand new start!

My students have gone through three science teachers in the last year. But I am here to stay. I know many of my students will be shocked by all of the new adult faces in their school- so I want to make there transition as fun and comfortable as possible. I have a bright sunny classroom- but almost no school supplies. With your help, I can make my classroom inviting, beautiful and inspiring.

My students have been stuck with nothing. I want them to have everything they need and feel deserving of it all.

My Project

My students need the basics. I have a sun-filled lab, with nothing much more than desks and chairs. I was lucky enough to get lab materials donated from another closing school- but I am still missing the learning basics. I previously taught in another high needs district and left all of my materials with that community. This school is re-opening this September- rising from the ashes- and the whole community is excited about a fresh start.

My students need art supplies and tools- for diagraming, making models, charting, graphing and putting the A in STEAM!

My students need Dissection kits and graph paper. This is the first real lab experience these students will have. My lab was not used for over 10 years! Let's bring science and inquiry back to these students!

My students need hygiene help. Because we are a Title 1 school many of my students lack the basics at home too. We need pads, deodorant, lotion and combs. If my kids feel fresh- they will learn the best! And you'd be surprised but- on a rainy day- dry socks. Nothing is more distracting and uncomfortable than wet feet. Let's take away these simple barriers to the students learning.
