Sustaining Student Success

Help me give my students materials and tools they need to become successful scholars.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ashley's classroom raised $572

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My school subscribes to a holistic view of our students and employs an integrated focus on academics, socio-emotional supports, and family engagement activities that lead not only to improved student learning, but also to stronger families and healthier communities. My students come from multicultural backgrounds(Black, Latino, Indian, Vietnamese) with a wide variance in academic proficiency (IEPs, speech services, reading recovery, etc.), as well as mastery of the socio-emotional skills critical for school success. 100% of them receive free or reduced-priced lunch.

Despite the challenges they face in school, in their communities, and in the world at large my students come to school everyday with immense resilience, dedication, innovation, empathy, and a sense of humor.

As I watch these young humans make sense of the world they inspire me daily to persevere and challenge myself to be a better teacher for them. I could not be happier with my school and students that I serve.

My Project

My school district is facing a budget deficit of over $100 million for the next school year. This means there will be about $50 million that will directly be cut from our school sites which will cause schools to have to make tough decisions about how they use the little funding they will be given. These cuts will deeply affect schools abilities to support their teachers in purchasing classroom materials and supplies for the upcoming year.

Funding this project will mean that my students will have access to learning supplies and materials they need to be successful scholars throughout the school year.

These materials will help my students independently practice skills they learned during the mini lessons. Whether that be practicing math strategies on their whiteboards, using bookmarks with helpful reading strategies, grabbing spelling tools when they get stuck, modeling with math mainpultives, or editing their writing with pens and whiteout. All of these supplies typically come out of my own paycheck and with your help I'll be able to supply my classroom with necessary materials without having to worry about my own financial stability.
