My Students

I have 25 students who are from an area located in Philadelphia. At our school, we help our students become successful and productive adults, willing to improve the quality of life for the entire community, as well as themselves. What I love about my students is how appreciative they are and how hard they work. My students share that excitement and joy of waiting for and then finally devouring the newest books in their favorite series. My students are inquisitive, voracious readers who are craving to discover the newest adventures in their favorite book series.

My students are inquisitive, voracious readers who are craving to discover the newest adventures in their favorite book series. They are curious about the world around them, future scientists and geographers!

We need help with our social studies and science curriculum.

Our students do not have the supplies they need for these two subjects. By supplying my students with Scholastic for both social studies and science, this will keep them engaged and curious about the world around them.

We appreciate your help and generosity!
