My Students

I work in a school that is low income. Where students come to school early to get a seat at a computer to do homework because they doing have internet access at home, or even a computer. Where students arrive early so they get a warm breakfast, or just to get away from the standard. My students are ambitious and outgoing. They love school and are doing everything to change the status quo. They strive to do better than what's expected.

My Project

I am looking for people to help raise money for a class set. A lot of the calculators I have are old. I'm hoping my friends will help out. The number I need is 30 (at least) and a charging station. These calculators will allow students to prepare for the SAT and the international baccalaureate exams. Additionally, students will become familiar with them so they are not stumbling in a college math class. Allowing students access to technology early gives them a stepping stone for college, our ultimate goal for all. Our students need these to be on par with the many who have had practice and can take them home before they can afford them.
