My students all come from a poverty-stricken inner-city schools.
Although they are all from the same place, they all have different home environments and upbringings. Many students struggle with basic needs and supplies, and our school often supplies what they are lacking.
My students are resilient and care about one another; I love the sense of pride in their community and their willingness to make sure everyone has what they may need.
One of my favorite things about my students is their sense of humor; no matter their situation, they can always put a smile on each other's faces (and mine, too).
My Project
These materials will be used to ensure each student has the clothing they need. Students are wearing the same clothes over and over again or often don't have any. We also often have young girls who begin their cycle and need changes of clothes. Their parents have to bring a change of clothes for them.
Our school is 99% free and reduced lunch, and it takes their parents a long time to bring the clothes; parents also struggle to find the gas money to make the trip.
By having clothes on hand, the need for parents to drive to bring the clothes will be eliminated, and students will not have to wait in dirty clothes.
