Striving to Flourish

Help me give my students the opportunity for success. We are in need of headphones immediately. We are in a high poverty area and headphones are not considered a necessity by parents. They are sorely needed.

My Project

My students are in a high poverty high need community, some of the essentials for school are not considered essential for life. Unfortunately that often means that we don't have what we need to help students succeed. I have several homeless students and many more that are in single family households. All of my students fall into the poverty or low income levels. I have provided many things myself, but also have limited resources. The classroom money provided by the district helps, however doesn't stretch far enough when all supplies are needed.
