My Students

Imagine being the first person in your family to earn your high school diploma. For many of my students, they are the first in their family to graduate from high school, and for many, to continue their education at a technical school or college/university. Many students come from low-income families where the family struggles to maintain a quality of life. Students seek activities to keep them safe, give them something productive to do with their downtime, and help them become better students so that they have a chance to earn scholarships to help them fund their post-secondary education opportunities.

My students come from low-income families of various cultures and various skill levels, seeking to strengthen their skill set in order to further their academic and future careers.

The students are in an urban environment where opportunities to “do the wrong thing” are abundant, yet they still show up every day ready to learn.

My Project

The supplies requested through this project will be used to help students engage more within their learning environment through the display of their hard work on the walls of the classroom.

The students thrive when they are able to see a hard copy of their classwork and the supplies listed will help to display the student work in a colorful and eye-catching manner that will help my students take pride and ownership of their work and be proud to have their work displayed within our classroom.

By having laminating sheets and card stock, the students will be able to print out hard copies of their work to be displayed and by laminating the work, the students will be able to protect their work from being damaged over time.

The printer ink will allow the teacher to print the students' work in color, helping to liven up the classroom environment with color instead of the boring black and what hard copies made by the school's old black and white copier. My students love seeing their names and work displayed within the classroom and I would love to be able to display more student work.
