Becoming the person we want our children to become is my #1 mission in life. Showing children how to master their own greatness is priceless.
" Simply stated, my students are
special beyond words.
I teach in an area of Brantford, Ontario known as
'Eagle Place'. I am the Grade 8 teacher to 23 strong willed,
hard working, and kind hearted 13 year old students who will be
venturing off to high school next year. For many of my students,
our portable at the back of our school is considered their safe
place. It is a place where they are fed breakfast in the
morning, given a winter coat and boots to keep warm, and a place
they are cared for each and every day. Their life is far from the
typical life of a 13 year old. Responsibilities of their sibilings,
going grocery shopping, and keeping the water bill down by
showering once a week requires them to carry on their days
like an adult. Although some of my students have never seen the
likes of "Pizza Day" or travelled to the "North-side" of the city,
they make the best of every situation and rise to every occassion.
Whether it was walking 45 minutes as a group to their future
high-school to win the Spirit Award or learning the game of
Volleyball with only 3 balls in total, their determination rises
them to the top.
I have been teaching for almost 10 years, and in those
10 years I have never encountered such compassionate and
grateful students.
This is my first GoFundMe I have created and all
proceeds will go towards sending my Grade 8 students on a Year
End Trip and towards their Grade 8 Graduation. I plan on taking
them on a day trip to Toronto to see the CN Tower and a Blue Jay's
game, which would require a bus, food, and ticket/tour costs. For
Graduation, I would use proceeds to order their plaques, reserve
bowling lanes for an after-grad event, as well as get a hair
stylist to do their hair at school for their big day. Although
my students have been fundraising by going door to door to sell
pies and pizza kits, the socioeconomic status of their community
limits their funding tremendously. My goal is to give them the
opportunity to live like a kid, worry-free, for a few days. I
would appreciate anything you could contribute to make their final
elementary year something they will never
forget. " - Angela Bowman,
