My students attend a Title I school in Brooklyn. With a high percentage of our students on free or reduced lunch, beginning of the year materials can be an additional burden on my students and their families. Our mission is to celebrate the unique complement of gifts and talents that each child possesses and to cultivate those strengths into powerful assets that serve the student and society. My students come from countries far and wide from Bangladesh to Trinidad and Tobago with the common goal of attaining a great education. They are eager to learn and continually face life's challenges with courage and perseverance.
