My Students

I am a teacher at a title one, inner city school which lacks resources. The donation you make will fulfill the basic needs of our classroom. This is a basic need of the course and given the constraints our school budget we would appreciate your gift.

Our students are approximately 75% African American, 25% Hispanic (75% on free lunch).

These students are attending an inner city school and have the capacity to learn and become successful individuals if given a hand up instead of a hand out. The student body at our school is used to not having enough and they rarely venture far from their home neighborhood. It is my hope that in teaching them Chemistry in a hands on fashion (labs) that the students will gain admission into College and change the vicious cycle which has depressed the lives of so many in this area.

My Project

All of the resources which I have suggested are for chemistry labs. Once theses labs are set up, the replacement chemicals can be ordered such that the lab materials and knowledge of how to set up the labs can be done for many years to come. Without these chemical materials, the only chemistry we can do is through materials I buy- note in the picture the propane torch I bought at a supermarket!

This project is important for the reason that we need to teach our students and children in multiple fashions.

Through use of computers, digital resources and books our kids can learn - but to have a lasting knowledge the students must conduct hands-on labs. These labs will cement in their minds the knowledge that they need to succeed.
