My Students

I work at the best dual language elementary school. Our students have school pride that is contagious. We are a family like no other. Our school is located in an inner-city neighborhood surrounded by low-income housing.

We are a school that is academically and culturally diverse.

We pride ourselves in helping students from all ends of the academic spectrum. It is our goal to let every student know and feel they are wanted, welcomed, and needed at our school every day.

My Project

My boys' basketball team is in need of team duffel bags to carry their practice gear and game-day uniforms in. We will have many new players added to the team this year, therefore; they need bags. I also would like for my team to look and be unified in every way. I have a great set of boys who love the game of basketball, but several are not able to afford the cost of the total uniform.

I would like to help with this burden by providing the team with the duffel bags to cut cost.

We have a winning team!
