My Students

We are a Title one campus in H.I.S.D. This means that we have 98% on the free lunch or reduced lunch program. These kids come from backgrounds that are at a disadvantage when it comes to getting a lot of the resources that are needed to get a good start. These donations will be put to use to benefit the children, so that they are able to have some of the things that other children have at the other schools.

This school is an inner-city school which sits in the downtown area which is called 5th Ward.

Donations will be greatly appreciated and need for these children. The neighbor hood is one of the older neighborhoods in Houston, Tx. These children are just any other child, but they have needs that are not met, but they are deserving of their needs getting met.

Please be giving to these students so that we can help them to help themselves in our society. We have made great strides in education despite the short comings of their environment such as S.T.A.A.R exams, athletic accolades and community projects. Thank you for your support for our school.

My Project

The items will be given to the athletes for extra protection while playing football. These items will be used for many years for other athletes to come. The basketballs are to be used for the basketball team to practice with and also play games with. These items are just a few things that are needed to help enhance and benefit the student. We are also looking for other fund raisers to get training equipment to enhance the programs, because the district will not provide these items. Thank you for your support of our program and helping out some kids who are not able to get these items.
