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
My inner city school lacks so much by way of supplies, but not in creativity. The children and students can think of unlimited ways to make the best of what they have, which is not much. The city is constantly cutting the budget, relying on caring teachers to buy supplies out of their own pockets.
My students attend an inner city school in one of the worst neighborhoods.
Not only do they not have yards to play in, but the local parks are not safe either. They are young, aspiring children who are looking for guidance and attention to reach their full potential.
My Project
I am hoping to gain funds to purchase some simple recess equipment/supplies for my third graders, but to be shared across grade levels in order to keep the children active, safe and hopefully more healthy. They will be able to play freely in their gated in play area at school. These items will encourage team building, trust, and creativity. They spend numerous hours on testing, test prep and learning things by rote, where they are required to stay seated for long periods of time. Needless to say, they get restless, and need to have an outlet for their energy.
We would love your support in this project!!
These inner city children have so much to offer, they are survivors. Please consider helping my kids be kids, give them a childhood they wouldn't necessarily get living in a rough neighborhood, testing non-stop.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
