OAK CREEK: TITLE ONE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Portland, OR
Title 1 schools aim to bridge the achievement gap between low and high income
students by providing more resources to schools where a high number of
students are living below the poverty line. Students of low socioeconomic status
disproportionately struggle with distress, lack of resources including food,
shelter, and clothing, as well as overall health. This program strives to create a
learning environment that not only will support the students educationally, but
support them physically, mentally, and emotionally. The school will provide services
like counseling, a recreation center, and a food pantry to assist students
and their families in times of dire need. This Title 1 elementary school is the perfect
opportunity to combine these resources and an education into one facility
