My Students

My scholars are modern day super heroes! And just like a good comic book, they have amazing abilities and skills that make them all wonderful and unique! However, just like every hero or heroine whose story we have fallen in love with and enjoyed, they have challenges, struggles, and long paths to success, that are often littered with uphill battles! My scholars come from diverse urban communities, all over the Baltimore area, and many travel an hour or more daily, on public transportation, to fulfill their academic commitment to attend our school on the west side of the city! Many of these families face low income challenges, thus making it difficult at times to make ends meet, especially extra resources for school.

I respect and admire my students so much for the perseverance the show and challenges they overcome every day!

Many of them face daily challenges that make my daily worries seem trivial. Yet they still get up, come to school, and handle their business everyday!

Please consider contributing to my project to help best facilitate my scholars in this educational journey and aid them in becoming the most Career and College Ready Scholars that they can possibly be!

My Project

The organization of materials is essential to the smooth running of a classroom. Students and staff need to know where items are located. They need to be able to safely retrieve and return items that they use.

This shelving unit will help to keep our items organized!

It is heavy-duty, so they will help this year's classes as well as classes to come. There are five shelves and they are adjustable, allowing shelving to be placed at needed heights. This unit is easy to put together and our construction students can help build them!

This is the fourth part of this project to add additional shelving units to our shared spaces.
