My Students

Can you imagine trying to teach fifth and sixth grade without any paper?

I teach fifth and sixth grade math, science, and health in a high-need community.

My students come prepared everyday, and are from one of the highest achieving schools in the city. We have students with great attitudes, and a lot of potential. They come to school ready to learn, but the school isn't ready for them. We don't have enough paper.

My Project

We are in need of paper! Our school funding was recently adjusted, and teachers are now responsible for paper. In order to be athletes in training who keep health logs, world travelers with our math passports, or scientists who record data during experiments-we need paper! Your donation makes it possible for us to keep working! Paper is essential in every classroom, and such a simple donation makes our education that much more fun (and effective)!

It's an easy way to help an two entire grades of kids succeed in the fifth and sixth grade!

Supply paper to enable them to complete projects, take notes, ace tests, and record science experiments. So, paper or plastic? We prefer paper, please.
