My Students

My school consists of a group of young adults who are immigrants, unaccompanied, and homeless youth. Although I teach students who have various financial needs they are all motivated and driven to perform well academically and are active in their community. They enjoy challenging themselves in rigorous advanced placement, honors, and college dual enrollment courses. When they are not working hard in class, they are actively practicing to take an Advanced Placement (AP), ServSafe, and Adobe Illustrator exam which will allow them to obtain an industry certification in Culinary and Digital Design or college credits. These opportunities will allow my students to become competitive in the workforce and pursue their post-secondary goals.

My Project

In my city, there are cold days from January to March and many students do not have jackets to keep warm. Having team jackets will not only allow students to keep warm in cool climates but show their school spirit when they are attending athletic events. Having the needed uniforms will allow students not to worry how they will remain warm. Often times, students walk to school with a hoodie and nothing more. Adequate clothing in different times of the year is a need that sometimes gets ignored. However, with your contribution, my students will have what they need to be comfortable and warm in school.
