Our urban junior high serves and teaches 1,175 students of diverse learning and socioeconomic needs. 25% of our students are in the special education program, and 83% of our students are on the free and reduced lunch program. The students I teach are thirsty for experiences other than their daily lives. They are a diverse group of wonderful, engaging, and thoughtful kids who cannot afford to purchase their own quality art supplies and do not have chances to enrich their lives with family trips to the art museum or vacations outside of the city. Their elective classes, such as visual arts, enrich their lives, provide them with higher-order thinking and problem solving venues, and teach them 21st century skills that empower them to escape poverty and understand the world at large.
