This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
We are an inner-city magnet school in our district with a medical theme. My students come from all over the city, from all different schools, cultures, and backgrounds. In spite of the many obstacles, such as being homeless, my students achieve higher than all the neighboring high schools and have a 100% graduation rate and college acceptance rate.
Unfortunately, many of our students struggle with homelessness.
Our school is located in a low-income area with 100% of the students receiving free lunch. More than three-quarters of our students are from low-income households.
Most of our students select careers in the medical field. Their access to resources needed to prepare them for this path is very limited. DonorsChoose makes it possible for our children to have the necessary tools to succeed.
My Project
A large portion of our students are homeless and transient. They struggle with getting work completed because they don't have the basic tools . Students will have highlighters, printer ink, pens, white-out, batteries, index's/pencil cases for binders and even a 4 drawer storage space to hold their work. Living in the city, our students don't even have access to a store. The homeless shelters have limited space and would not allow students to store supplies and work. These supplies would be one less thing that a homeless student needed to worry about, and allows them to focus on the future and all its possibilities.
