Please help my students be organized! I teach 7th & 8th grade ESOL Language Arts at a big middle school in east central Florida. We are a great school that is, unfortunately, in very short supply of many resources. We have many students who come from low-income families, as well as many ESOL students, for whom English is a second language.

My ESOL students come from all over the world, from places as close as Puerto Rico, to ones as far as Vietnam. Many of them arrive in the United States one day and are in school the next day, many times only knowing a few English words! Due to the types of obstacles that many immigrant families face, most of my students cannot afford sufficient school supplies to get them through the school year. This usually leads to extreme disorganization, and students folding papers and putting them in their pockets, never to be seen again. This, of course, leads to low grades in school.

I need 50 1/2" binders and 50 sets of tab dividers for my students to use. I would like to provide each of my students with a binder and tab dividers that they can use for my class the whole year and give back on the last day of school. This way they are able to learn how to stay organized by utilizing the different categories in their binders, and are likely to lose less work. And the best part is, I won't have to buy 50 new binders every year!

You will great help my students succeed in school, by providing them with supplies that will enable them to learn how to organize and to stay organized in all their classes!
