My Project

Dear fellow lovers of learning,

As an educator, it is not only my passion but also my responsibility to provide my students with the tools and resources they need to excel academically and personally.

Every day, I strive to deliver a learning experience that empowers my students to achieve and thrive in their pursuits.

However, the reality is that many of the materials and resources essential for their education come directly out of my own pocket. I work in a low-income school where funding and access to materials are severely limited. Despite our best efforts, the lack of resources often hinders our ability to provide the quality education that every student deserves.

It is disheartening to witness the challenges my students face due to the scarcity of resources. Every child has the right to an education where every known resource is readily available to facilitate their academic growth and development.

Today, we are confronted with a learning crisis of unprecedented proportions, and the very essence of education in our country is at stake. It is imperative that we come together as a community to address these challenges and ensure that our students have the support they need to succeed.

That is why I am reaching out to you today. I invite you to join our fundraiser campaign to support education at KIPP OKC. Your generous contribution will help us secure additional resources, such as textbooks, technology, and classroom supplies, that are essential for creating a positive and enriching learning environment for our students.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these young learners and help them rediscover their love for learning.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Mrs. Hunt
