My students come from a high-poverty low-income community. They live in the poorest county of NJ. Some of my students' parents work 2-3 jobs to take care of the bare necessities of everyday life. While their parents want the very best for them, the extra things in life may not be able to be provided. About 75% of my students qualify for free or reduced lunch and cannot readily afford materials to help enhance their education. My students have faced many challenges in their young lives where school tends to be their only constant. We want to make their school life as enriching and fulfilling as possible.
