My Project
The goal of this project is creating a safe space for creativity, thought and challenges, which encourage growth. Growth is the goal of life and learning. Please help us to provide resources and interesting books and workbooks for full immersion.
Our students are scholars from Chicago's Auburn Gresham south side.
Our students are excited about learning and about using the knowledge gaining. Our mission is to increase the opportunities our students have access to.
The books, workbooks and cleaning supplies on our project will help our students to take ownership of their learning and allow them the space for the practice and repetition needed to master language acquisition.
The pillows in our project will allow our scholars to recenter when over stimulated which tends to happen during challenges. This sensory change will help our students to understand, not only are challenges normal but they can be planned and prepared for, and when they happen, they can be handled.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
