My Students

My students are truly inspiring. They come from areas all over the world with many different backgrounds and stories to share. Nearly 80% of these students live in poverty or poverty like situations. There are over 30 languages spoken in our school. Our school is one that consists of diverse learners with many needs. Many of our students come to school hungry, tired, from crowded homes or the neighborhood shelters or refugee camps.

Despite these challenges, they are still eager and excited about school.

They want to learn and give their best in the classroom. We as a school work to make every student feel emotionally, academically and culturally supported and embraced.

My Project

We are about to reopen during a very unsettling time.

It's important to keep our students safe and healthy.

In order to do that we need to make sure students are not sharing supplies, therefore providing each student with their own set.

This is hard to accomplish knowing the tight budgets. i These are just a few of the basics to help our kids get started.

School is about to be very different. These new supplies including pencils, journals, crayons and pencil boxes will be exciting and something to look forward to for my rising second graders. Help me make this transition a little easier!
