My Students

How can students succeed without the appropriate resources? As a teacher in a Title I school in downtown Manhattan, we have a large population of special education, low income and English Language Learners students in our class. We want them to learn through multiple means​ so that they can become great readers, writers, and mathematicians!

Most of my students are eligible for free lunch due to their socioeconomic status.

Many of our students have ADHD, learning disabilities, and speech impairments. We want to prepare these students for the future and give them the same opportunities that other New York City children can afford.

My Project

During this pandemic, our priorities have changed. Not only are academic resources extremely important, but so are safety measures.

I want my students to be able to learn and breathe in a safe COVID-free environment.

Teachers want to get back into the classroom more than anything, but the safety of our students is our number one priority.

Please help me give my students that safe space. This HEPA filter will clean the air to reduce dangerous particles that can be spread by coughing or sneezing. We want to reduce illness, especially ones that are potentially very dangerous.
