Our public elementary school (K-6) is located on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Our area has sustained significant hardships over the last six years. Hurricane Katrina ravaged our city, then the BP oil spill reeked havoc on the fishing industry. Eight-five percent of our students receive a free or reduced lunch and breakfast. Our great state of Mississippi is experiencing financial difficulties. Schools are asking their teachers to do more with less funding. Many of our parents are experiencing financial hardships and are not able to donate needed classroom supplies. Many of our teachers are not able to continue to spend significant money, from their own pockets, to buy the supplies they would like their students to have. Our students have tremendous potential and without the enrichment experiences their full potential may never surface.
