My Students

Our school is in a rural area atop the Appalachian Mountains where the nearest WalMart is a 45-minute drive. We have one service station and two restaurants. Our students enjoy staying after school to complete community service projects and crafts of their own.

We are an elementary school, grades 1-6, as well as pre-k and kindergarten.

Our student population is 68% free and reduced meals, and we are a Title I school. This winter we have missed 23 days of school due to snow. We have double-digit unemployment because of the current economy. An after-school program for students to relax and enjoy themselves will be a welcome reprieve.

My Project

We will make art projects using tissue paper, paints, and construction paper. At the end of the program we share our work with elderly patients at a local nursing home. Our students will be able to experience the reward of helping others, especially the senior population. Even though the students' personal situation may be bleak, they delight in making art projects and proudly sharing their work.

Aside from youth league basketball, this is the only recreational activity available to the youth in our community.

This activity provides a positive atmosphere to keep their minds and bodies occupied thus resisting the pressure of temptations and exposure to drugs, alcohol, etc.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
