Our Title One school is located in Phoenixville, PA. Some of our students' families have difficulty affording books for their students, let alone donations for new school supplies. My students not only seek out academic support, but emotional support as well. We are not only their teachers, but we also play the role of parent, mentor, counselor, and nurse, as our students sometimes have no one else to turn to. Although their lives outside of our four walls asks of them to carry too much weight on their shoulders, within our walls they are still kids. They do not have the resources that many other schools have and it is difficult to keep simple supplies available (pencils, paper, markers, etc). Fund raising efforts go towards field trips to allow our students to experience places outside of the classroom. Not much is left for classroom materials.
