My Students

We are a uniquely designed neighborhood school that brings teachers, students, and parents together with educators, universities, and the community. We provide a curriculum responsive to students’ interests, backgrounds, and individual educational needs. Our staff members collaborate with students and families to create an engaging, authentic, and caring environment.

We are a Level 1+, Title I school with over 700 students.

Our students are mostly black and 75% qualify for free and reduced lunch. Our school is a model school for educating teachers in the Chicago Public School and AUSL network.

My Project

We are requesting 45 Dolfin Girls'' Solid DBX Back Swimsuits to help students learn to swim. Our school has an indoor swimming pool and students take swim on a weekly basis. Our school is located near Lake Michigan, therefore, swimming skills are critical for our students.

Our school is a high-performing Title I school, but students need access to swimsuits that they cannot otherwise afford.

Students will be able to borrow swimsuits from what we receive from your donations and return them when they are finished. There is a washer and dryer on site and swimsuits will be kept laundered.
