This is my second year at a new school, but one thing remains the same: many students experience homelessness or displacement during their senior year. Some move around a lot and still others live with people who simply don't value the students' belongings. When they miss their college mail, sometimes students miss a lot; but during their senior year, my students can use the school's address, and the literature sorters become their mailboxes! Even kids who don't need to use them opt to receive their mail at school because it's just so cool! Reliably getting their mail is only the first benefit; the second one they don't even realize is happening. If you could see the transformation that takes place in my kids when they stop by my office every day because "I gotta check my mail, " you'd understand that it's more about them growing up: becoming interested, engaged, invested and personally responsible as they navigate the college admissions and financial aid processes. In addition to college mail, they can receive important school notices that they easily miss when noise and a poor PA system obscure the daily announcements. Also, I get to check in with every one of them without chasing them around the school! The rest of my project items are tools that my students and I needed or that I wished we'd had last year: 1 - toner for the color printer I brought from home (my school can't provide one or even purchase the ink), because seniors have projects to print that require color from time to time; and 2 - a huge at-a-glance 12-month calendar whiteboard so that my students and I can see their future plans taking shape, and just how quickly this year is going to go down in history!
