Our school district serves approximately 671 students. The district is described as a seven square mile area that tends to be rural with an Appalachian culture in southwest Ohio. With a decline in revenue, our school district is the fourth poorest in Ohio's school systems.
Our school district may be small, but it is with purpose and intent that there will be a turn-around with a new focus of administration and staff.
The average median income is $24,930.00. This is a community in which the majority of the residents live below 200% of the federal poverty level. In addition, 96% of the students are economically disadvantaged and are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
My Project
In language arts class, we use pencils, erasers, colorful paper to make assignments and task cards "pop", ink for colored photos that the students do for assignments, and batteries in our slideshow remote and computer "mouses"! Since these items are often not supplied by parents, I keep extra in the classroom for my students to use. The cost of supplying these items adds up!
Our supply closet is running low on these consumable needs for our classroom.
I keep the supplies in a cabinet by my desk and fill the pencil cup every week, give erasers daily, along with the other supplies that are on an as-needed basis.
