My students live in a extremely rural Alaskan bush village. My students live in dual-language homes of English and Yupik Eskimo. Our weather is extreme to say the least. Life opportunities beyond the tundra are limited.
The neighborhood my students (and myself) live in does not have any activity options such as stores, movies, skate rinks, malls, playgrounds, parks, and etc.
There are no banks, doctors, dentists, vets or other services that are taken for extreme granted. There are no roads in or out of Togiak, there is no way in or out of the village other than a bush plane.
My students deserve and need the same educational tools available to other schools. Unfortunately, resources and money is limited and I am asking - no, begging - for you to help these kids any way that you can. Their needs are not large at all - they need simple supplies such as notebooks, folders, construction paper, and anything else you would typically find in a K/1st classroom. Their needs are so small that any amount, even a dollar, will add up and help me support their needs.
I have one project left that will need funded. I've had the most amazing person ever support my classroom - her kindness has been overwhelming and humbling. THIS LINK takes you to the project description.
43 more days before my adventure begins - not that I'm counting or anything! :)
