Students in our school come from very poor families who are trying to make ends meet. Our school is a Title I school. This means that 99% of our school population lives below the poverty level and is entitled to a free lunch program. Although the students in our school are very poor and have limited resources they are always eager to learn and are very enthusiastic. Our school is located in a very poor section of New York City. Most of our students live in housing projects or shelters. Across from our school there is a highway which exacerbates the impact of asthma in our children. The resources available to the school are very limited and we are unable to buy equipment for our students to play.
