My Students

Our school serves all the high school students in our area, as well as those who choose to come from outside the district because of our high standards for learning. As a charter school, we do a lot of things right in terms of rigorous and challenging teaching standards, but we teach students who come from limited backgrounds, many of whom turn to the school for all of their resources. We are a diverse school, but students are often uninformed about cultures around the world and how those cultures are impacting our world we share.

My Project

Budget cuts, budget cuts, budget cuts! Those two words have become synonymous with education. In a day in age where millions of dollars are allocated to non-essential items, it has become overly apparent that the importance of balanced education is at the bottom of the financial priority list. Teachers spend thousands of dollars out-of-pocket on classroom supplies for students, who come from high-poverty households. With cost of living continuing to rise, but no raise included in that equation, it is getting harder and harder for teachers to help their students.

My project is meant to provide my classroom with ink for our printer and snacks for incentives and hungry students!

It is remarkable how much students need something printed and so our printer runs out of ink very quickly! With this donation, I will be able to get ahead of the need and have ink whenever we run out for the rest of this year. (I hope!) Also in this request are snacks! I love to offer them as rewards for good behavior, winning a game, and also for hungry students in need.
