My students are bright, energetic inner-city children that deserve the same educational opportunities that students in suburban districts that surround Philadelphia experience. Unfortunately, due to the budget crisis our district currently struggles to provide the bare necessities to the children at greatest risk.
Our children live in an impoverished, crime-ridden neighborhood known throughout Philadelphia for drug activity and gang violence. Our rather large K-4 school has often been referred to as an 鈥渙asis鈥 for the children in the neighborhood. A place where the children are safe, loved, and most importantly educated. With the budget crisis we face, our 824 students have been subjected to larger classroom size, cuts in personnel, including the school librarian, and essential support materials in every core subject.
