Ms. Lucas-Odom Chester High School
Chester, PA Grades 9-12

My students are in a high need community, that teaches 30 students per class under the inclusion model.

My students have no supplies but a willingness to learn, explore, and help their natural environment. They want to take charge and make positive changes for it.

The resources, the video camera and the microphone will help them to record, post on the web, and share their Going Green ideas throughout the school year. It will allow them to start a professional portfolio that they can use to submit to technical schools and colleges for further studies in environment related fields. Using multiple intelligences,the students will coordinate art, music, and science together as they develop a hands-on activity that will showcase them in a positive and a successful way.

Your help will make a difference in the life of a student where the drop out rate is over 50%. It will allow me to actively engaged my students in real life scenarios for the entire school year and beyond. Books can start the process but creating a movie/video is a more exciting process that will keep them engaged in learning for life!
