My students need a foosball table and replacement balls for the table.
FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Rose Malinowski's classroom raised $346
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 students live in a low-income/high poverty urban school district. They are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom, with challenges including emotional trauma, a high mobility rate, and many other special needs. Many of them are being raised in single parent households, and 99% receive a free lunch and breakfast. My students are 70% Hispanic and 30% African-American. The majority of my students are far below the national and state standards in reading and math.
My Project
My students end up inside for recess so often, they are not getting up and active during that time. Every time it rains or is below 30 degrees they have indoor recess. This is actually most of the school year in this Midwestern city!
I want to get the foosball table and some other games with future grants that will create an active center for indoor recess.
Right now they are told to sit on the multipurpose room floor and I really feel they should have some outlet during their 20 minute recess that encourages an actual break for their brains and their bodies. Sitting in a desk for six hours a day is really difficult for kids and adults alike!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
