Starting Out On The Right Foot, Part III

My students need basic school supplies like pens and pencils to ensure that nothing stands in their way to success.

Mr. Oszust Gateway School Enviroment/Tech
Bronx, NY Grades 9-12

Our small school is located in one of the poorest congressional districts in the United States. Many of our students come to class unprepared simply because they cannot afford to purchase basic supplies. Almost everyday, students will ask me for pens or pencils. Every year I provide students with pens and pencils that I purchased with my own funds, however, by mid-year, my supplies are usually exhausted. My proposal is to provide all of my students with the same basic supplies so that individual students will not feel embarrassed to ask, nor will valuable class time be wasted as the student searches for something with which to write notes and assignments. Students should spend more time on academic tasks. If they are well equipped, they will increase their chances to succeed in school, earn higher grades, and minimize disruptions to the learning process. I want to give every student the means to advance through high school and ultimately through college. These tools are essential to that task. Furthermore, my students will know that there are people in their community who care about them and their education. Your act of kindness and generosity will be long remembered by our students. Thank you for your generosity.
