We have finally started school again Hurricane Sandy destroyed our community in Far Rockaway. Most of our students and many of our teachers lost everything. I want to do anything I can to try to improve their lives right now, even if it's more opportunities and resources in their classrooms.
We are a Title I elementary school.
Our goal is to ensure that all students acquire knowledge and develop skills and understandings that will enable them to become productive citizens and lifelong learners. Our students do not have a lot of advantages in life, and we do everything we can to provide them the most fulfilling experiences possible!
My Project
Music projects also integrate art, and these supplies will be used directly by students. We are asking for crayons, markers, scissors, and colored pencils to complete school projects and related artwork. The storage boxes will keep all these supplies neat and tidy. The dry erase markers are for students to use on individual white boards which brainstorming ideas for their projects.
These supplies will give our students the chance to begin learning music as a group.
Music gives these students an opportunity to learn something they can take pride in and use throughout their entire lives. Most importantly, this is an experience that the school and the families of our students would not be able to afford without your help. Thank you!
