1. Candace Carr – Kindergarten Teacher, Sankofa School of Success
“Going into my second year of teaching, I have seen the impact that having a welcoming classroom has on students’ learning experiences. These classrooms are their homes away from home. I want them to be able to feel comfortable and let their minds explore. Having resources like books, headphones, and fine motor skills activities would be a great addition to the classroom. I want them to be able to bring their whole selves and not worry about anything else.”

 2. Omega Robinson – City Connects Coordinator, PK-6 Social Worker, Sankofa School of Success
“If my list is funded, our students at Sankofa will have the opportunity to communicate their thoughts and feelings in a variety of ways by utilizing books, worksheets, and games. It can provide students with a different approach to utilizing SEL in the school setting. I will be able to provide students with an upbeat, safe space for those who need a little extra love and support. I believe that investing in SEL is investing in our students’ future, as it will provide them with the invaluable skills and support they need to thrive both academically and personally.”

“The funding for this project would impact my students by introducing them to new forms of communication and expression. The writing station will not only provide students with a space to complete assigned academic assignments but also a creative space to encourage writing songs, poems, short stories, and editing.”
