My Students

Teaching art in a low-income district generally puts my classroom needs last on the list of items for the school's budget. But research has shown that by integrating the arts into elementary education we can help students broaden their way of thinking which in turn helps close the achievement gap. In our district, arts education can’t close the achievement gap if low-income students lack access to it. And unfortunately, U.S. Department of Education data suggests that an opportunity gap does exist, with low-income students less likely to have access to arts education than their higher-income peers. With the help of DonorsChoose my classroom is able to close our resource gap!

At our school, I work with students who are using art to help them think critically but also help them heal from the social injustice that plagues the world around them.

With better tools, resources, and experiences the students at my school have the potential to excel in arts education. They are also able to see how it can help them in the future and help the community around them. Help me provide the best art experience possible for my amazing scholars.

My Project

This year BH Upper Elementary girls are hitting the pavement! We will be participating in the St. Louis Girls on the Run 5K on May 14th. Girls on the Run is a youth development program for girls in grades 3rd-8th. Our girls will be taught life skills through dynamic interactive lessons and running games. The culmination of the program is the celebratory 5K in Forest Park. The ultimate goal is to unleash confidence in our young girls through accomplishments while establishing a lifetime of healthy living.

In order to make training/running enjoyable and safe, our girls would greatly benefit from high-quality water bottles, snacks/electrolytes, hair ties/headbands for their hair, and good undergarments.

Having all of these items on hand at school will make training so much easier, and will make it so every girl can run comfortably at every practice. With washing machines at the school, we will be able to wash everything after every practice so the girls won't have to worry about remembering to bring their gear to school.

The Girls on the Run program is really amazing and we have seen it do wonders for confidence and camaraderie in previous years that we have participated. Thank you for considering helping our girls take on this challenge!
