My students need college essentials (backpacks, alarm clocks, planners, etc.) that they can use and will last awhile. Due to certain circumstances it is hard for them to get these items.
My students come from many diverse economic backgrounds with over 80% of our students receive free or reduced lunch. Students speak a multitude of languages including, English, Creole, Spanish, and Portuguese. We help students learn English while holding on and becoming literate in their own language. Many of my students have come from different countries and have faced many different and difficult situations. My students have had limited resources and less opportunities in their country and came to America to seek a better education and future for themselves and their families. They hold the American Dream, but need the tools to make them successful and become a change in the world.
My students are Skilled, Honorable, Excellence, Achievable.
Every morning, we motivate the students with an inspiring quote of the day. Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do there best. My students are the future!
My Project
During our Decision Day on May 1st, students will be given the opportunity to be entered into a raffle to win prizes donated by YOU! As you already know, students from SHS come from low-income families, where about 80% of the school receives free or reduced price lunch. For this reason, many of the students are at a disadvantage and may not be able to purchase these college essentials for themselves on their own. The items I am requesting will be put to a great use by my students. Having a planner, desk lamp, alarm clock, back pack or tote bag will prepare a great start to a successful college career. With your generous donations, I am hoping to create a space to celebrate the seniors' accomplishments. Additionally, gifting them with these items will put a smile on a student's face and it will be a great way to show how proud we are of our senior class and their success for coming this far in the college process.
Pictures and videos of this event will be shared on social media, where social media plays a prominent role in the lives of young adults, I am hoping that decision day will motivate future graduates of SHS and encourage them to pursue higher education while also celebrating the seniors this year to show them how proud we are of their accomplishments.
