My Students

My students live in urban neighborhoods that require support and resources for learning. One of the challenges my families face is the ability to provide extra resources and opportunities for their children.

We need to get each student the support needed to be successful in the school.

A large percentage of our students live in multi-family member homes; foster homes; with other family members; in friends' homes; and hotels or motels.

My students are creative, loving, and hands-on learners. They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically.

My Project

In our schools, there are over 80 different languages and cultures represented. We need to provide our students with different resources to help learn differences, acceptance, and respect for all.

My students would benefit from having access to different multicultural food items in the classroom to help gain awareness about differences within their community and their peers.

With these resources, we will work together to help students see their identities included in their learning and provide more learning opportunities about cultural equity. These resources will allow students to have a more inclusive environment to learn.
