My Students

A typical day in my classroom is full of learning experiences. I don't provide my students with lessons; I provide them with learning experiences. By the end of the school year, I want all of my students to be full of the necessary information to make them successful in the real world.

I am a committed Baltimore City Public School teacher who is willing to work hard to be a great teacher; however, I cannot do it alone.

We are a Title I school. Ninety-nine percent of my students are African American from diverse backgrounds including English Language Learners, military families, and single-parent families. These factors don't phase them. When you look at them you may see children who have already led a hard life, and children who have no hope of a positive future because of the neighborhoods that they come from. I would describe my school as a hidden gem. I think it provides a safe haven for children who are otherwise faced with tasks, responsibilities, and experiences that far exceed their years in maturity and experience. My school is the place where many of these children come for a meal, serenity, and more.

My Project

My students come in many shapes, sizes and cleanliness. We have had an increase in students coming to school in dirty clothes, which leads to additional problems. Also, without having a washer and dryer, students coming in from the rain or other accidents have no way of cleaning or drying their clothes. If I were able to provide them with clean clothes at school and to be able to teach them how to wash their own clothes, my students would feel better about themselves and learn valuable life lessons.

My students sometimes lack the resources to have their clothes washed at home and wear the same items daily.

Some come from poverty and do not always have the opportunity and/or access to a washer and dryer at home. Having these appliances at school would give them this opportunity. Will you help us?
