My Students

Outsiders might label our scholars at-risk because most of them are socioeconomically disadvantaged, our building is located in a high crime area, and the public does not expect a lot from our district.

Meeting our scholars, you would describe them as open-minded inquirers ready to take on new challenges.

Our students are here because they choose to take on the challenge of an International Baccalaureate (IB) program that will effectively prepare them for college, a goal they might be the first in their families to achieve.

My Project

These supplies will allow our scholars to learn without the distraction of needing basic materials. Funding of this project will allow me to better outfit my classroom with needed supplies while ensuring students have what they need to succeed. Students need composition books, pens, and pencils to annotate readings, interpret information, and draft essays that will be important to their success. Basic organization and classroom tools like baskets and an X-ACTO electric pencil sharpener will allow us all to complete our tasks more efficiently. We also need Kleenex tissues, Bounty towels, and Lysol Disinfecting Wipes to keep clean.

While students in my classes will be studying government, economics, and psychology, they will be practicing important life skills like research, analysis, interview, and presentation.

In a modern media world that is becoming increasingly more difficult to interpret information, it has never been more important to develop strong critical thinking skills. Supplying these materials to our scholars will allow them to develop these skills more effectively and efficiently.
