My Students

Copies are an essential part of any classroom. Can you imagine not having access to a copy machine as a teacher? Currently I am funding my own copies and it gets really expensive. Having access to copies will help my students tremendously in all subject areas.

My students are amazing!

They LOVE to learn! My students come to school enthusiastic about being there and ready to learn. My school is located in a low income area of the city. Many of the students are living very minimally. 99% of the students receive free lunch. Many of the students are not able to play outside due to high crime in the neighborhood. Despite all of the things around them, they have hope and really value their education.

My Project

My students BEG me for extra work! Can you imagine that! Having access to a copy machine will help my students learn more in every subject area. They will be able to take papers home to have things to work on. Having a copy machine would help me afford to give them all the knowledge they want. A copy machine will also help me post important vocabulary and other things around the classroom. I will be able to create great bulletin boards thanks to having more copying abilities.

My students live in a community that does not offer a lot of resources.

Copies are the most essential because it creates opportunity. They can practice more reading, writing, math, science, and social studies, work on puzzles, or other art related crafts. Not having a copier limits what I can do with my students. Your donation would help my classroom flourish.
