My school is an urban K-12 charter school that prepares students for college. Grade level teams across the board collaborate to build classroom communities that function on critical thinking and mutual respect. The students and their families make this incredibly challenging job seem easy with their unequivocal passion for success. Many of the students in my school qualify for free or reduced lunch or have experienced harshly traumatic events as early as age 5. Despite this reality, they don't make excuses and do not want anyone to feel pity for them. They just want access to the same high quality education that any one would. Our school does an outstanding job of teaching children HOW to read. The challenge in 4th grade is getting them to comprehend and critically think. By donating you are putting our students in prime position to develop these skills. They love to debate and have deep discussions.
