We are one of the largest middle schools in Illinois! My 6th grade students are a great bunch of kids! They are fun loving, energetic, and eager to learn. Because of our size, however, it is difficult to find the funding to purchase the materials that these wonderful students need. Our poverty level is in the 60 percentile and the district is in the midst of a financial crisis. Therefore, like many other schools around the country, we are looking outside of our institution for help making children's dreams come true. On behalf of my students, welcome and thank you for any help you can give towards our project.
