My Students
My students are mostly low-income middle and high school kids who have demonstrated difficult behaviors and have been removed to a special school catering specifically to their needs. They are good kids who deserve a proper education but have missed out on the opportunities available at the bigger comprehensive schools.
My Project
My school is a specially designed campus with a focus on supporting and modifying student behavior. Our kids have struggled to succeed in larger comprehensive schools and have been removed from this more restrictive environment. The small size and nature of our school mean that we have limited funding for science lab supplies and I often have to get creative so that my students can enjoy even of a fraction of the typical high school science experience. COVID-19 has made this already difficult situation worse by interfering with many of the fundraising opportunities available to me and causing shortages of the supplies I can afford.
This project will support better science education for my students by ensuring they have access to the same basic lab supplies that are available on every comprehensive campus.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
