My Students

My students are from different parts of the world. They live in South east Harris County, Houston Texas. My school is located in a place surrounded by apartments where people are constantly coming from different countries.

All of them have been affected by Hurricane Harvey.

They have lost everything also we have new students who have just arrived from other countries with many needs. They feel safe and protected in school.

My students are children with many needs and with a huge smile in their faces.

My Project

My students are from a low income area and they come to learn with some needs. I try to make my classroom as comfy as I can to make learning something they love to.

I would like to have comfy flexible seating to make learning fun and comfortable for them.

They love to seat in different places and explore new areas in the classroom. If you donate to my project you will be making happy faces in students that are very hungry to learn.

Thank you for considering this project and change some lives in education for the present and a better future.
