Teacher McDonald from Dallas TX is requesting supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
My students need two lecterns and folders to create the perfect simulation for public speaking, debates, and ultimately to teach them how powerful their voices truly are.

My students deserve the best from us and nothing less. They deserve the best teachers that we can be and they deserve the best environment that we can provide. Our school is located in South Dallas right down the street from the State Fair of Texas. 100% of our students' families fall below the poverty line, many students are reading below grade level, and the opportunity gaps are apparent.
Despite the many challenges that my students face daily before they step foot into the classroom, they continue to strive for excellence.
Walk into any classroom and you can guarantee that the personality and confidence of our students are lighting up the room. My students are able to make something amazing out of nothing; So image what they will be able to do when they are starting with something. Our kids deserve the best and together we can give that to them.
My students represent a community that is often times unheard and forgotten about. The need to prepare students to be advocates for their neighborhoods and to use their voices to empower their communities is just as important today as it has always been. In my reading classroom, students will debate and speak on topics throughout the course that focus on social and moral issues of today.
With these two lecterns and folders, my classroom can transform into a presidential debate, a town hall meeting, a courtroom and more.
We can begin to prepare students now to gain confidence in their public speaking and their ability to debate topics that we read about in our classroom. This support will help our goal of creating the Leaders of Tomorrow.
