My school is located in a low-income neighborhood with scholars from diverse backgrounds. Nearly all scholars qualify for free school meals.
Despite socioeconomic disadvantages, our melting pot of scholars possesses a positive outlook on learning.
Each child is unique and deserves quality resources and experiences that will shape their future.
We are a Title I school; however, it’s often a challenge to find funding to purchase materials and resources. Basic classroom supplies and technology are in high demand in our school and our scholars deserve to experience high-quality education and resources.
My Project
Diversity and inclusion play a major role in education. Being able to see "yourself" in texts not only builds confidence, but a sense of community in the classroom.
Scholars deserve to read a variety of texts that represent their communities, cultures, and the melting pot we live in.
Engaging texts that teach life lessons, reflect on family values, and spark scholar's interest are necessary to enhance any classroom library.
Help give our classroom library a makeover by contributing to this project. Scholars will be excited to read new and engaging books that will continue to build their fluency and comprehension.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
