My Students

I teach 12 wonderful and bright students in a low income, high poverty school district. My students face a lot of challenges in and out of the classroom and need social, emotional, and behavioral support in order to succeed and be an active member within the community they live in. My students truly are amazing, kind, and beautiful they just come from some not so great backgrounds which doesn’t allow for them to nurture specific skills needed to succeed in their everyday lives. Although my students have a hard time balancing their home and school life, when they are engaged in energetic, fun, and engaging learning they can and will thrive like all children.

My Project

This year is very different to previous school years. While we are expecting our students to adjust to online learning, I want to make sure their environment is as comfortable as possible so they can feel the way they would in a regular classroom.

Your wonderful donations, will help provide my students with a dedicated workspace.

Many of my students face challenges in their households which limits them to have a space to call their own. I am asking for lap desk which will allow my students to have a comfortable designated spot for learning while at home and a place to store their supplies in, no matter where they are.

I know my students will do great things during this time and you will not be disappointed to have donated to our classroom. My students will continue to be strong learners all while tackling virtual learning in a great space. We thank you in advance for your wonderful donations!
