My students need life essential items to support their educational as well as daily needs.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kopple's classroom raised $550
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
The International High School at Union Square serves students who have lived in the United States for four years or less. The welcoming environment in the school with many support services, ranging from providing help in legal matters to meeting the medical needs of the students- IHS-US allows the new immigrants to learn about the world around them while developing their English skills.
All the students of the school have diverse linguistic, cultural, and educational backgrounds.
The diversity of the school allows the students to develop respect for other cultures and values while finding out their place in this world and how they can bring change for better. Students also work collaboratively on projects designed to bring out the richness of their cultures, experiences, and personalities. Students have the opportunity to be placed at an internship in 11th grade that matches their career interests.
My Project
As students of a Title 1 school, all of the students share an immigrant status and most qualify for free lunch. The essential items that would be funded with your generous donations would allow many of my students to meet educational needs as well as their daily needs in terms of health and wellness.
The students would be able to use the book-bags for multiple years and would definitely boost their self-confidence to remain in school and perform well in their classes.
The other life essentials are basic personal hygiene items that would allow the students, especially the 11th graders who are participating in internships, to access these resources in school when their families cannot afford to buy such items.
Thank you for your interest in helping our students.
