My Project
When you think about students who have a strong desire to be the best, think about my students. They are inspiring individuals who come from places that aren't always ideal. Adversity is the foundation of the life they stand on, but they persevere.
Our students struggle with poverty, homelessness, employment, transportation, and language barriers, but despite all of this, they show up to school.
Our school administrators and teachers work very hard to try to make sure our students receive everything they need. Every student receives a free breakfast and lunch daily. I would also like to provide my students with some basic school supplies like glue and crayons to help them succeed throughout the day. In addition to providing the basic needs of our students, we try to incorporate a variety of social-emotional interventions daily. This helps my students with the various challenges they face daily, such as self-esteem, bullying, and communicating their emotions. Other items include play-doh to help them focus during the day.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
