This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
We are an inner-city magnet school in our district with a medical theme. My students come from all over the city and from all different schools, cultures, and backgrounds. In spite of many obstacles such as being homeless, my students achieve higher than students at all the neighboring high schools and have a one hundred percent graduation and college acceptance rate.
Unfortunately, many of our students struggle with homelessness.
Our school is located in a low-income area with all of the students receiving free lunch. More than three-quarters of our students are from low-income households.
Most of our students select careers in the medical field. Their access to resources needed to prepare them for this path is very limited. DonorsChoose makes it possible for our children to have the necessary tools to succeed.
My Project
A large number of our students are homeless and transient. They struggle with getting work completed. No one was prepared when this pandemic hit the world. We were forced to leave with very little supplies and instructional materials.
Coming back to in person instruction, Classrooms demand certain tools in order to produce the type of lessons our students are used to and need.
Unfortunately, we are not provided the sanitizing tools such as hand sanitizer, disinfectant spray, disinfectant wipes, storage containers and a method to transport classroom instructional materials safely from room to room-thus a collapsible wagon.
These items will create a safe and healthy environment for teacher and students so the focus can be on learning, not on wondering where they will get the items needed to keep their learning space healthy and safe.
