My Students
The love of learning begins at a very early age! My classroom is full of very active little learners. Our children attend a Title I school that is located in an urban, high poverty community, where 96% of the students are economically disadvantaged.
The majority of my students are either homeless or come from single-parent homes, which causes them to have limited access to everyday learning material.
It is hurtful to say that so many of them have been through much more in their short 3-5 years than any of us could ever imagine. Even with that being said, they somehow find a way to come to school every day eager and ready to learn.
My Project
As an educator, it is seen year after year children struggling to try to get their school assignments home. This is due to them not having backpacks available to them to make it easy for them to hold all their supplies and school work. Unfortunately, our students come from a low-income family and many of them are not able to afford supplies or backpacks.
My students would be very grateful to be able to have a backpack to be able to carry all of their supplies to and from their home and not feel anxious about them getting their assignments dirty, lost, ripped, or torn because they don't have one.
The other supplies will be used by the teachers to send information home in a neat and secure way. The supplies will be stapled and secured in a clean and spacious folder. Any donations made to this project will make a difference in student learning by addressing the need to feel like their peers and fitting in from the first day of school.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
