My Students
We are a Title I school that offers free breakfast and lunch to all children. Our second grade scholars live in a high poverty neighborhood. Our community is located in an inner-city area. About 85% of our students identify as African American, 5% Latino, 2% White, 1% Asian, and 9% multi-racial.
Labels and test scores do an injustice to our scholars and teachers.
My scholars and I refuse to accept failure. If you could see our children, you would understand that they are full of potential and that they are future leaders and innovators. Our students are perseverant, motivated, enthusiastic, and driven to succeed. We will bridge the poverty gap, and they will achieve!
My Project
Our young scholars are working diligently to realize academic and social success.
We would like to update our classroom to provide a welcoming and comfortable space that invites our children to work together collaboratively to achieve their learning goals.
In order to do so, we are requesting a comfortable couch and matching chair. This furniture is designed to last and will replace an older futon that was not built to withstand the wear and tear of a large group of children. With your help, we can provide an environment that promotes learning and is both bright and cheerful. I want our students to know that they are valued and new furniture will let them know that they matter!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
