My Students

My students are from diverse ethnic backgrounds; however, they all share the same goal, "higher education." They always come ready to give their best, every single day.

I serve 22 students from different ethnic backgrounds.

They come from a low socio economic neighborhood. My students try to give their best, every single day. Coming to school, for them, is a safe haven place, where they feel love and security, and where they can be able to reach their full potential, socially and academically. Throughout the day, they are exposed to diverse subjects, and are being challenged to apply critical thinking.

My Project

These supplies will provide my students with paper for their weekly homework. The pencils and crayons will help them to complete their school work on a daily basis. We use flip chart paper to visually display anchor charts in the classroom, to assist them with their learning strategies.

This project will provide my students with endless opportunities to have anchor charts, to laminate projects that will last, and lastly, it will provide them with tools they need, on a daily basis.

to complete their school work. as well as their homework. Your generous donation will be greatly appreciated, and you will provide my curious kids with endless learning opportunities!
