My Students

The students I teach are between 9th and 12th grade. The students in my class have a clinical diagnosis of severe emotional disturbance. They are in a single classroom all day because they have a hard time interacting with peers and adults.

I am entering my 8th year as an ED teacher, and my students are the most inspirational students I know.

They all have hardships at home. Their lives are filled with poverty, drugs, gangs, and other difficulties. Our school is a career tech high school, and all of our students are being educated to be career and college-ready.

Typically, my students are referred to as the "Bad Students," which is the farthest from the truth. They need someone on their side. In our class,​ we have created that space for our students. Now that they feel comfortable with us, we want to give them the same opportunities as their peers. We believe in them.

My Project

Many of my students live in low socioeconomic neighborhoods and need our help with basic items. Some students live in multi-family member homes, foster homes, and couch surf. I have some students who are refugees and don't have what they need to stay worm during cold winters.

With hats, gloves and socks to help keep them warm this winter my students can focus more on learning than how cold they are.

This project will provide our students with not only their most basic needs, but emotional well-being, positive atmosphere, confidence, and success.
