My Project
I am a first-grade teacher at a historically underfunded public school. My students are excited about learning and want to excel in school. I have a large range of learning abilities in my classroom. My students come from diverse backgrounds with a variety of needs.
My students are sweet, and they are excited and ready to learn, explore, and take on the world.
They are excited from the time they get off the bus in the morning to when they leave at night.
My students need extra space for their basic learning materials. We have wonderful desks, but storing our books, crayons, and markers becomes such a hassle. These storage containers would be just what we need to help with cleaning up our classroom and to make our classroom environment just perfect.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
