My kids are exceptional! Our elementary school is a Title I school with over 65% of our children living below the poverty line. I strongly believe that poverty and differences should not determine who receives the best education and equipment. My school is a rainbow of beautiful children from all parts of the world. Each brings their own perspective and experiences to the classroom. Each is valued for their differences, not excluded.
Investing in our students strengthens the community as a whole and creates promise for a future that is both inclusive and diverse.
Even though we try hard to meet the needs of our students through the creative use of school dollars, fundraisers, and using our own personal funds, there is only so much that can be done. Alas, there are always things that are overlooked or put aside due to a lack of funding. This leads to gaps that are never filled and that leave a lasting impact on our students.
At our school, we teach perseverance and endurance. Helping our students shows them that this hard work pays off and that good things do come to those who never give up.
Not everything in school is about reading, writing, and arithmetic. Some students also need a place to land when they aren't flying right. Our space is a quiet corner, a safe place to get support, a calm learning environment, and sometimes a piece of home in an otherwise large and daunting space. In our room, we also help hungry bellies by providing healthy foods to ensure that students are fueled and ready to go. Unfortunately, we have no way to store and heat many of these things. These tools will help us to help students in need!
