I work at a special education school, servicing emotionally disturbed, learning disabled, and other special education classified students. Our students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Over 95% of the student body is eligible for free lunch and over 90% receive public assistance. These factors come together and place our children at a huge disadvantage, but we are committed to providing these students with a rigorous academic and therapeutic program. The school’s ethnicity is as follows: 60% Hispanic, 30% African American, 8% Caucasian, and 2% Asian.
I have a self-contained classroom, which services students with specialized learning needs. During classroom lessons, my students learn the basics of Math, English, Science, and Social Studies. They only venture out of my classroom for their elective courses, so the majority of their studies are done in my room alone. Despite my students' various emotional, environmental, and educational challenges, many of my students plan to attend college or trade school when they graduate. I support my students' goals and dreams, both big and small!
My students are in need of a Hewlett-Packard printer (with replacement ink cartridges) for their classroom. A printer would give them the opportunity to print class assignments and photographs right in their homeroom, instead of over-utilizing the printer in our school library. Thanks for viewing my proposal and considering my kids!
