My Project

My students live for team sports and going to the gym because it is a place where they work together and are able to release some of the tension that builds in their bodies as a result of being incarcerated.

My students requested that I try to obtain new socks for them.

They wear used socks and often they get quite grimy and old. Something as small as a sock really makes and impact in these kids' lives because they feel respected.

My students work hard every day in school. Donors Choose.org has helped provide resources that show our students that they deserve the best resources and that we believe in their ability to learn and grow.
