My Project

In a world where every student can break free from poverty, the South Bronx stands as a symbol of resilience, rewriting the narrative of students' futures.

In the poorest congressional district, our high school students face daunting challenges.

They often graduate without the necessary skills to navigate the complex world, leading to menial jobs or college dropouts. As a civics teacher, I am determined to alter their trajectory. By providing real-world experiences and nurturing their interests, we can guide them towards post-graduation success. Thus, we seek your support in acquiring an Apple MacBook Pro for our civics class and student government.

With this cutting-edge laptop, our students will possess the tools to develop skills in production, marketing, and civic engagement. Hands-on projects will teach them to craft messages, create impactful videos, and navigate their communities. These skills are vital for academic success and empower them to be effective advocates and agents of change.

Our goals are ambitious yet attainable. We aim to equip students with digital literacy and critical thinking skills for college and careers. By fostering their civic engagement, we empower them to shape their communities and our democracy actively. We strive to instill confidence, resilience, and purpose within each student.

Our students possess unwavering determination and resilience in the face of adversity. They have untapped potential, waiting to be unleashed. Despite their challenges, they are eager to learn, hungry for opportunities, and ready to make a difference. They are the future leaders, innovators, and change-makers of our community, deserving every chance to succeed.
