Help me give my students basic supplies including notebooks, paper, pencils, pens, highlighters, erasers, and of course, hand sanitizer for the much dreaded flu-season!
My students from New Haven, Connecticut are a bundle of joy with so much potential for growth. They are a part of a program that emphasizes exploration and innovation – both within and outside of the classroom. The curriculum integrates academic challenges with independent learning in order to cultivate a discovery mindset. As such, the students are creative, inquisitive, and always open to a new adventure. Truly, they are the reason that motivates me to get out of bed each day. However, coming from a low-funded school where the minority enrollment is 92% of the student body, it has been difficult to adequately support the students financially. Many do not have the supplies or resources to learn. I've seen plenty of students without a notebook or a pencil, and I do not have the necessary funds to purchase more supplies. Each child absolutely loves to learn, but their needs are not met. They are an absolute blessing, so I hope I can continue to support these learners!
My Project
All of my students are passionate about education, but they lack even the basic supplies to take charge of their learning. Our classroom lacks paper and pencil, and many of the students do not have notebooks to take notes or complete their assignment. It's absolutely devastating to watch students who come from low-income families suffer in an environment intended to open their minds. The lack of resources available continue to perpetuate the education gap and clearly outlines education inequality in this country. I've shelled out my own money to pay for pencils, books, tissues, glue sticks, and so much more. The problem of funding is detrimental to our students, and it has gotten worse over time. I will go to great lengths to secure basic resources for the classroom, and I hope you can see how important this project is to bridge the school-supply gap and provide for the students.
