This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My students are so free and full of life. They are eager to learn and succeed. Although they reside in the highly impoverished community of Englewood (Southside of Chicago), they are determined to be their best. They refuse to be products of their environment. Most of them come from single-parent homes or are living in temporary living situations. This vicinity is a high poverty, crime stricken neighborhood where violence is the only way some know how to survive. My students deserve a chance at better.
We live by a creed at our school.
"We believe in the creation of inspired lives produced by the miracle of hard work. We are not frightened by the challenges of reality but believe that we can change our conception of this world and our place within it. So we work, plan, build and dream--in that order. We believe that one must earn the right to dream. Our talent, discipline, and integrity will be our contribution to a new world because we believe that we can take this place, this time, and this people and make a better place, a better time and a better people."
My Project
We are just about at the mid point of the school year in first grade. Student materials are running low and I want to make sure students have what they need to be successful. The materials that we had in then first few weeks of school are quickly depleting and are in need of refilling. With the large majority of my students being from a low income background, the families are unable to provide the classroom with all necessary supplies. replenish the class with all materials we need.
