Ms. Racklin-Costello’s Classroom Edit display name

Your custom url is https://www.donorschoose.org/ms-racklin-costello

My students live in the poorest neighborhood in all of Colorado, the Sun Valley Neighborhood. If you have ever visited, you would see a neighborhood primarily made up of government housing projects. This does not stop my students or their parents from being dedicated to hard work. Despite being behind grade level in math and literacy, my students strive to achieve a year’s growth in order to move on to middle school being well prepared. Being a first year teacher, I don’t have a stock of the basic supplies for a classroom. Another challenge is the lack of funding at my school because we are in the poorest neighborhood in Colorado. I need your help to provide my students with a warm classroom environment to make them feel safe and materials they need to learn and grow.
