My Students
Our school is in the heart of Brooklyn, NY. It is a brand new school with a load of potential. The school includes students from pre-k to kindergarten, and it is a melting pot of children from all around the world. Our school is in a high-poverty area, and about ninety-five percent of the students in the school receive free lunch. There are fifteen, energetic, three and four-year-old children in my class but there are not a lot of funds to enrich these students' education because of the budget cuts. Although our families give us support, they can't always help out financially.
My Project
I am requesting a changing table that includes steps for my 3K classroom. Although most of my students are potty trained some are still wearing diapers or pull-ups. Last year my paraprofessional and I would change the students in the bathroom as they stood up. This was hard for everyone.
A changing table would mean no more heavy lifting!
The fold-down, self-retracting steps are available only when a teacher’s hand unlatches them and a teacher’s foot is on the floor-pad. The cleanable pan is padded for comfort. And there's plenty of room for storage behind the lockable doors of the solid hardwood cabinet.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
