My students are 7-12 grade art students in a challenged social-economical community that is high crime and drug rates. The families of my students are sometimes high school drop outs or working low paying positions. The neighborhoods that feed into our school see too much violence with gangs and youth gun use. I teach art—which takes a lot of my personal resources since I just began this year (2025 as an art teacher) after 16 years teaching History at a high school in same district. I feed the students, offer supplies for more than just ART—but art resources too are provided by me frequently—but sometimes Hygiene products or other things teens need that are not fully accessible to them in their poverty.
