My students are a very gifted group. School to them is serious. It is their job, and one that will enable them to have a better future, whether it is the son of Peruvian immigrants, or the daughter of an African American single parent. They share a common goal - raising themselves up from poverty and getting an education. Many are from broken homes and are socio-economically challenged. More than 50% of them get free or reduced lunch. Several live in areas that are not safe to go outside after dark for fear of being shot. School is their ticket out. We are participating in the Chevron classroom challenge.
