My students live in a big East Coast City. They are mostly African-American, in 10th grade, funny, imaginative and intellectually curious. Our school is very small and in an isolated corner of the city; it is considered a magnet school and my students are determined to learn, achieve and get to and through college. They face obstacles, not the least of which is the severe budget crisis we (and many other districts) currently face. Over 60% of my students live below the federal poverty line. We've had no art teacher for the last couple of years, so this year I am trying to add more art to English! It's so sad and discouraging when the boys (mostly) who struggle with English do amazing work on art, yet they have no regular outlet or training in the subject. I am asking for support to help them excel in their area of talent. Thanks!
