My school is an inner-city, Title I public school, consisting of about 62% Latinos and 31% African Americans. My 3rd grade students come from broken homes and economically disadvantaged families. Due to drastic and radical changes in our school's funding, our students are again short-changed into working with outdated books and lack of appropriate reading leveled books this coming year. The teachers at our school are scraping our own funding barrels to keep our students engaged and enthusiastic about reading and writing and becoming great potential citizens. Although my students are faced with these shortcomings they are eager learners and want to succeed in their education. With your generous support they will achieve their goals one year at a time.
