The students I work with come from families living below the poverty line, many of whom are struggling to remain housed and meet basic needs amid California’s high cost of living. Families may face challenges accessing nutritious food, stable housing, and other essential supports, while students may also experience trauma connected to poverty, housing insecurity, and exposure to gang and drug violence in their neighborhood. Despite these challenges, the school receives fewer supplemental resources than schools in more affluent communities, where PTA fundraising, grants, and private donations can help fill gaps. I believe every student deserves access to safe, well-maintained facilities, nourishing food, and current learning materials. When students arrive at school hungry, frightened, or carrying the effects of trauma, it can be difficult to focus and learn. As a teacher, I see it as my responsibility to help create a safe, welcoming, and supportive community where students feel valued and have the opportunity to thrive.
