A Clean, Comfortable Classroom Helps Students Learn

Help me give my students a mop to learn cleaning skills, healthy snacks to keep students focused throughout the day, and classroom essentials to begin the new school year with.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our students benefit greatly from hands-on, engaging learning experiences that help them build both academic and life skills. The snacks you provided help ensure students can stay focused and ready to learn throughout the day. The mop gives us the opportunity to teach valuable daily living skills, encouraging responsibility, independence, and confidence through meaningful, real-world practice. The Expo markers allow us to create colorful, interactive lessons that capture students' attention and support a variety of learning styles.

The goal of this project is to create a classroom where every student has the tools they need to succeed.

By meeting basic needs, teaching practical life skills, and providing engaging instructional materials, we can help students build confidence, strengthen important skills, and enjoy learning each day. These resources will be used regularly to support both academic growth and personal development.

As students with disabilities, they thrive when instruction is interactive, visual, and tailored to their individual needs. They celebrate every success, no matter how small, and their determination inspires us every day.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
