I teach a Gifted & Talented program for 5th graders from all over the city of Lynn, Massachusetts. The students come from a very diverse population in a city with a high percentage of families falling below the poverty line. English is a second language for many of Lynn's students.
This program has no budget. Everything is funded through fundraising.
Position:
director/teacher of a gifted & talented program for 5th graders
Needs:
We are in desperate need of all kinds of technology..... and would love to have a smart board, computers with DVD and CD drives, digital photo equipment, microscopes and other science equipment, etc.
We have built the basic robot through Lego First - and need funding to
continue on to the regional competition.
We also would like funds to sponsor special artist programs, and field trips
to enrich our standards based curriculum.
