Hi, I am Mrs. Aisola and I am a third grade teacher at Dr. Martin Luther King Charter School in New Orleans, Louisiana. My school is located in the lower ninth ward which was hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina. Many parents as well as teachers are still repairing their homes, so it is very difficult to purchase school supplies. I would be very greatful to receive any school supplies to enhance the learning in my class. These are the following supplies that are needed: scissors, glue, highlighters, pencils, pencil sharpener, laptop computer, listening centers, dry erase markers, copy paper ( white and multicolor), classroom sets of paper back reading books(third grade level),crayons, markers, assorted felt sheets, pocket chart stands, educational software, computer ink (Dell 1700/1710)and overhead math manipulatives. Thank you very much!!!!!

My school is located in the lower 9th ward in the city of New Orleans. As a result of Hurricane Katrina, the school was a total lost. All teaching materials, supplies, equipment,and furniture were ruined. My students are in need of school uniforms, jackets, underware,socks and tennis. They need supplies for homework and classwork. The following items can enhance my kdg. program: learning area rug, literacy and math manipulatives, storytelling flannel board sets,various pocket charts, shared reading big books,thematic bullentin board sets, jumbo building blocks,primary manuscript paper, jumbo pencils, erasers, crayons,and scissors. Personal copier, copy paper, laminating machine with film,large paper cutter, TV with DVD player and a variety of science, social studies, math, and story telling DVDs.

To Whom It May Concern: Thanks for this opportunity to receive materials for my classroom. The needed materials are as follows: dictionaries; thesauruses; encyclopedias (because the kids need to be able to physically use the reference); class sets of novels (such as "The Diary of Anne Frank" and "The Best School Year Ever"); software for all subjects; games that focus on various subject matters (such as Jeopardy for math and language arts); dry erase boards w/ easels, markers and erasers; chart stands and chart paper, including graphing chart paper; composition notebooks; folders and spiraled notebooks; loose-leaf paper; pens; pencils and pencil sharpeners; ink for printers; and multipurpose printer/copy paper. Please know that as we continue to rebuild our lives, we are so grateful for any assistance that is offered. So on behalf of my students and myself, thank you once again for this blessing.

I love a computerized piano lab and I need software, and other music materials to fulfill my purpose in this great school. I need sheet music, music method books, dvds, cds, computer music software, music printing software, blank cds and blank dvds, quarter inch cables, speakers, sound systems, subwoofers, and many other items to enhance my teaching.

My school is Dr.Martin L. King Jr. Charter School, which is in the lower ninth ward of New Orleans, La. where Hurricane Katrina hit the hardest. This is a plea for help, after several years much has not improved.The public has been misled by the media because so many schools are still in disrepair and in so much need. Parents cant supply the students with their necessary needs because most of them live below the poverty level and honestly I have done the best that I can. This is a humble plea for help because our students need school uniforms, coats, shoes, socks, school supplies for homework and class work, crayons, pencils, backpacks, tablets, etc. The Kindergarten program would be greatly enhanced with reading, language and math manipulatives, big and shared books, building blocks, puppets, pocket charts, a copier, copy paper, science and social studies activities, reading and listening DVD’s, thematic bulletin board sets and AV equipment. The children have not been able to go on any fieldtrips, because buses and insurance are so expensive. Any amount of funding would be greatly appreciated. These babies are beautiful,loving and eager learn. Please consider our Kindergarten class for adoption, for I have been trying for 3 years. Thank you for your consideration.
