My Students

My students come from diverse backgrounds. A large portion of my school's population comes from poverty-stricken homes; poverty is their everyday dark cloud. They are kids with hopes and dreams of making their lives better, and bettering the future of their families.

They deserve a chance to have hope.

That hope begins with giving them a voice. They bring their suggestions to us and we listen. We do whatever it takes to help them find success in school and life. It is our hope that their many successes in school translate into finding better lives for themselves and their families.

I became a teacher, in part, to set a good example for children who need role models in their lives. My hope is that I'll have a lasting impact on them.

My Project

My project brings basic classroom supplies to my students in need. We are halfway through the school year and our shelves are bare. I'm requesting various school supplies so that my students can continue to have a successful year. The copy paper will be used for worksheets that will help my struggling students with literacy and historical concepts. The labels will be to organize their portfolios. The pencils, so that they will be prepared everyday and the dry erase markers will be used for various classroom activities.

Help me give my students the supplies needed to succeed and have a sense of accomplishment.
