Help me give my students, who are new to the country, resources to improve their English skills, snacks, and a Grammar Workbook.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Elizabeth Dennis's classroom raised $311
This project is fully funded
My Project
My students have come from Africa, Asia, Central and South America to pursue better opportunities. Most people can't imagine leaving their home country and being immersed in a different culture, language, or traditions. Please help me provide instructional resources to help my students improve their language skills in writing, listening, reading, and speaking. My students are eager, motivated, and committed to being successful. They are committed to their education and appreciative of the opportunities that they have been given.
The instructional resources will help the students be successful academically.
The materials will provide strategies that will help the students improve their English skills. Students must pass a proficiency test with a near-perfect score.
These young people give up their time from work and family to stay after school twice a week.
More than half of 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
