My Project
I teach in a lower socioeconomic area in Middle Georgia, and my 8th-grade students are amazing. They thrive when learning English Language Arts through nontraditional methods. We focus on connecting English Language Arts to real-world scenarios. With the help of donations, my students will be able to relate their learning to concepts beyond the classroom.
These supplies will enhance my students' understanding of English Language Arts and enable them to engage in meaningful discussions about what they have learned.
Unfortunately, our school system no longer provides any supplies, so if the students do not bring them, I have to supply them myself to ensure my students have what they need to succeed.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
