My Students

I teach fourth-grade students at a rural elementary school in the Appalachian region of Northeastern Kentucky. Most of my students struggle with poverty, and 75% of them qualify for free and reduced-price lunch. Moreover, I have students with special needs, who must overcome learning challenges. These students are talented, caring, and compassionate children, but they require extra assistance to reach their full potential. My students have so much to offer, and I love helping them grow and learn each day. I want to provide them with the basic classroom supplies they need to meet their academic goals.

My Project

My students need basic science supplies to function in the classroom. Our children need hands-on experiences to learn basic scientific principles. Your donation will provide these students with the hands-on manipulatives they need to be successful.

Your investment will assist our students in learning problem-solving abilities, cooperation skills, and science knowledge.

These essential areas are important not only for academic success, but also for prospering as productive citizens. Without your generosity, we may not be able to offer these children all the support that they need to become independent learners. Our goal is to foster science knowledge, problem-solving, and team-working skills so that these children can grow up to be fully contributing citizens.
