My Students

My students reflect the cultural richness of New York City - and they speak 34 different languages among them!

Our school is an academically rigorous, tuition-free high school and college associate's degree program.

Many of my students are the first in their families to attend college. They are very eager for the opportunity to earn two years of free college tuition at the time of their high school graduation.

It is incredibly rewarding to work with such curious, eager, and motivated students.

My Project

Two students approached me the first day of school, eager to start a book club for 10 students. They already had a list of desired books and they were raring to go. This left me stumped: How do we stretch our limited school budget to make it possible to run a book club?

This grant will make it possible for students to read for pleasure in a group and recommend books to others.

The books will be donated to the library after the club is finished, and we'll have years of enjoyment from them. Nurturing students' love of reading is so important, especially in September! Thanks for helping us start the school year with a bang!
