My Students

We are a traditional middle school with a diverse population; roughly 30%White, 30%Black, 30%Hispanic and 10%other. We are a Title I School where all kids get free breakfast and lunch.

We love all of our kids here at Gauger-Cobbs and we strive to be the best we can to support the growth of our students.

We are on paper rations and limited to just one pencil a year.

We need colored pencils, markers, colored paper, and glue sticks.

My Project

We have so many handouts and worksheets that need coloring. The kids really like doing a good job and like to color their flower parts or endangered animal projects. Giving their work color not only makes it brighter but it allows them the creative freedom and a sense of ownership to the classwork

My students need colored pencils and glue sticks.

Our kids don't have the socioeconomic means to always have what the need so if I could get a class set everyone would benefit!

I feel sad for the kids that don't have markers or colored pencils. they really want to do a good job but don't always have the resources
