My Students

A woman in science is a wonderful and powerful thing. Having the tools needed to achieve her goals in the classroom are just as powerful. I don't want my students to be at a disadvantage because the budget no longer allots money for classroom supplies.

We are one of four all-girl public schools in New York City with students ranging from 6th to 12th grades.

These girls come from low income areas where the high school graduation rates are on a decline. Our goal is to empower these young ladies by providing them with a strong education and to help them realize that college is more than just a dream, it is their future. My students are motivated and dedicated young women. They love to be engaged in science and exploratory activities. I want to give them every advantage that I can to do so.

My Project

I am requesting supplies that the students and I will use to make our lessons more engaging and creative. Due to budget cuts, the school is no longer supplying basics like construction paper and chart paper. The construction paper, copy paper, and the stapler will be used to create innovative and colorful science projects. The chart paper will be used to write and post science concepts and charts. Adding the arts to the science helps students by using manipulatives and visual aids to help students understand the curriculum. My students need construction paper, a flip chart, a stapler and an assortment of paper.

My students are part of an all girls 6-12 school in urban New York.

Many of these girls are forced to grow up quicker than they should due to stigmas and/or family obligations. They will see many of their friends incarcerated, become pregnant and drop out of school, or worse. For many of them, education will be their only escape from a world full of poverty and crime. Our school demonstrates to these girls that, yes, they can achieve and exceed even their own expectations!
