Our school has an enrollment of more than 1,500 students of whom 34% are economically disadvantaged. We have a balance of 52% males and 48% females with our minority population at 52%. We have 75% of our students on free or reduced-price lunch.
Our school is in a suburban area.
It was built in 1970 and has a strong school spirit and ties to the community. Our school has an unusual percentage of teachers who graduated from here and returned later to teach. I jokingly warn the new ninth graders about drinking the water! Our school community is a close-knit group that looks out for each other. Thank you for considering my project for funding to help us.
My Project
Thank you for considering my project to provide a digital classroom subscription in my English and Journalism classes for the 2021-22 school year.
The New York Times Upfront is the high-school current events magazine that inspires and empowers students to engage with the world they live in and think critically about the news and information they consume.
The stories are compelling and connect history to the present day and make current events relevant to my students and their lives. Upfront is so much more than a magazine! Subscriptions include a digital library of hundreds of texts, videos, and skills activities that my students can use anytime, anywhere, and on any device. Please consider giving to my project to provide this resource in my classroom. Thank you!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
