My Project

We all learn differently while achieving an educational experience. Working in an urban school environment, funding sometimes runs short. Many of our students receive free or reduced lunch. It's hard to personally fund all activities that will help my students grow. Our poverty rate is over 60%. With this being said, our resources are limited to meet most individual needs.

I enjoy watching my inclusion students plan and meet the benchmarks that they set for themselves.

This year I'm in need of art supplies including paint smocks, canvases and more. These will be very helpful for my students. Artistic expressions can be more powerful than writing for many of my students. Please help my inclusion students to express their ideas through drawing and decorating their creations with the knowledge they have organized supplies.
