My students live in an increasingly economically challenged section of our city. They face many hardships daily. Many come from homes where they lack the proper materials to get by. Many also come from broken homes. All the surrounding schools in our area receive Title 1 (government funding) excepts ours. We have the same issues as the other schools but don't receive extra money for resources. Their school is a safe haven for them. There, they can get their basic needs met, plus an education. Teachers here mentors and parents and the students thrive on that. Luckily part of our school was rebuilt a last year, so 2nd grade students have the luxury of a new building. However, the school severely lacks current technology and the basic classroom supplies. I have a globe in my room that still has U.S.S.R Our students are smart,ambitious and full of character and could use a helping hand to bring them into our ever-changing technological world and culturally diverse world.
