Help me give my students additional masks, wipes and sanitizer to keep them safe in school. We all want to be here but without the right supplies, we can't be. Every mask and wipe helps!
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
Our school is an inner city public school on Chicago's northwest side-with a population of 477 students-grades six through eight. Approximately 89 percent of our students receive free or reduced lunch. 16 percent of our students have special needs. This pandemic has hurt us all. And we are trying to keep our students, staff and families as safe as possible, inside the school. And although there are measures in place, they never seem to be enough. We need more and more and so we are all doing what we can to acquire as many supplies as possible to ensure the safety of all.
My Project
Students and teachers want to be in school. Parents need to work. But, we can't keep up with the need for PPE and cleaning supplies. We all have to pitch in and help do our part. And if that means begging for resources, fundraising, asking for donations from our community ... I'll do it. We'll do it. We want everyone to stay safe. But we keep having classes flipped to remote, positive cases among our students and staff....and those that are here want to stay here. Those at home want to come back. We need to ensure we're all doing our part. Our students and their families are relying on us. Our district is struggling. Whatever we can do to keep learning safely...we're going to do it.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
