This August will mark my sixth year of teaching in public schools across the country, and every day, I am incredibly grateful to devote my life to something that I love.  It is a privilege to facilitate learning for such diverse student groups and to help build a safer, classroom community where every student can find their personal success, regardless of their cultural, racial, or socio-economic backgrounds. Every year, however, I find myself needing to personally supplement our limited school budget in order to meet my students' diverse learning needs.  

 

Unfortunately, this is a harsh reality for many public school educators, with the average teacher spending over $500 out-of-pocket on school supplies.

 

It is in this regard that I humbly ask for your support.  Please, help me empower this generation of students to reach their full potential!

 

Every dollar makes a huge difference, and each donation will be rewarded with a personal thank-you card hand-created by one of my current students. Donations of $100 or more will also be accompanied by a personalized, thank-you video, giving you an exciting glimpse inside our public school classroom!

 

 

How will my donation be used?

 

All donations will go directly towards my current student and classroom needs.  Every time funds are used, I will post a picture of the specific items purchased and the exact cost through a Generosity.com update on this page.  The goal is to transparently purchase a variety of the items mentioned in the donation levels before the start of the school year, as well as to save some funding for consistent replenishing of consumables (tissues, granola bars, etc.) throughout the year.  This upcoming school year, I will be returning to George Washington High School in San Francisco, CA to teach 9th and 12th grade English.

 

 

Why Generosity.com?

 

While there are several, great education-specific websites for fundraising, many of them have frustrating limitations.  Some only allow you to keep funds if you completely meet your goal, and most require you to only purchase specific items from a select list of approved vendors.  Generosity.com helps to maximize your support in a number of ways:

  1. All donations to this fundraiser are kept, even if we don't meet our overall fundraising goal of $1000 this school year.  This means that every dollar truly does count, and funds are released every three weeks, so supplies can be replenished frequently as needed.
  2. Generosity.com minimizes the fees that organizers have to pay, meaning your donations go even further!  When you, as a donor, give to our fundraiser, YOU get to decide whether or not to support Generosity.com with a suggested donation that goes towards their operating costs, so you aren't tied to unwanted fees either.
  3. Generosity.com does not require that purchases are only made from specific vendors or on predetermined items.  This allows for maximum impact and flexibility when it comes to buying classroom supplies.  It also enables me to take advantage of the best sales and prices, as well as to support our local community by buying from small businesses such as amazing used bookstores in the neighborhood!
