My Students

Our students come from the inner city. They are good children and they are eager to learn. Many students come from challenging backgrounds and they depend on school to be a safe and important part of their day. Our students receive free breakfast and lunch.

Our students are in serious need of many school-related items.

The students are kind and compassionate. They work and play well together. Most importantly they believe in community and they love school. New supplies will help them on their way.

My Project

Dear Donors,

We are asking for three bean bag chairs for our library.

These bean bag chairs offer the students a comfortable place to stretch out or sit when they read.

We need three bag chairs to make our library a plush and inviting place to read in our classroom!

The students will love to have an option to read using the bean bag chairs as they rotate through our library. Students move the bean bags to read in groups or read on them as they choose.

Please consider us as we want to have a modern classroom in Philadelphia that has kid comfortable features.
