My Students

At my school over 60% of our students receive free or reduced price lunch. We are located in an urban city where housing is constantly on the rise and subsidized housing is minimal.

My school is located in the most diverse zip code in the city.

We represent over fifteen different languages, with students who have just recently arrived in the United States speaking no English and with a limited academic background. Many have come from refugee camps and villages where access to many resources are not available.

My Project

My students need healthy snacks: pretzels, crackers, and nuts. Many of my students go home with no food at home and are hungry. These snacks will help them as they begin their school day ready to learn. We also need sanitizing wipes to clean our classroom tables to ensure a healthy environment. Students can be healthy and ready to learn by using these essential items.

Our school is located in the most diverse zip code.

For student success, we need our parents at our school either during the day or night so our kids know that their families care about their education. To increase families in attending we need to create a warm safe environment. What better way than to offer a hot cup of coffee! Families will be encouraged to volunteer and be engaged whether it be cutting our patterns or reading with a child.

Hearing from the voices of our families, we would love to offer our gratitude to our families who donated their time to volunteer at our school in any capacity. This increases student academic achievement as students can get help from their parents. We would love to show them our gratitude by providing them a small token of appreciation and providing a raffle prize for students and families for encouraging them to come to the school - a gift card.
