My Students

I work in a Title I School District, meaning the majority of my students are coming from a low economic background. Our population comes from the lowest poverty in the county to one of the highest income developments in the county. Many of the students receive government housing and live with multiple family members. Each student in our school receives free breakfast, free lunch, and a healthy snack each day. I believe school should be their escape. It should be fun and a place where they learn that anything is possible! It is my goal to expose my students to the generosity of the world. I have had smaller projects funded through this site. My students were in awe knowing that complete strangers cared about them and their success. My hope is that they will pay your generosity forward in the future.

My Project

Being back in a classroom looks much different than it did just a year ago. Many students and teachers alike are anxious to get back into the classroom. Being in the classroom comes with many challenges, social distancing, wearing masks, hand washing and all of this is taking time away from instruction.

How much would students love to be outside learning in a safe environment?

When students come back into the building, I would like to have the opportunity to make an outdoor classroom so students could continue to learn. With tables, students could safely sit 6 feet away from each while still being in close range from the teacher. Having a tent to sit under would block the sun rays from damaging their skin and eyes.
