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 students come to school unprepared - how are they ever to succeed without the basic supplies to supplement the basic skills? I work in a very impoverished area of New York. We are a "barrier free" school. This means that we open our doors to all children, regardless of their physical limitations. Children with physical handicaps make up a large part of my school's population. It brings me great joy to see children with wheelchairs, walkers and canes attending public school and acquiring the same education as the rest of the children in their neighborhood.

Our school is 95% free lunch. If parents can't buy their children lunch, then you can bet school supplies comes after that. I have students who don't even come to school with pencils. I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to provide what my student's parents should have, but haven't been able to.

What I need is a whole bunch of basic supplies. I need copy paper and ink so that I can print worksheets and homework for my students. I need pencils, and a pencil sharpener for the classroom. It is a dream to be able to give students a "survival" kit at the beginning of the year to keep in their desks. In this kit would be pencils, erasers, scissors, markers, editing pencils, and pens. When students have so little, it is really motivating when they have something they can call theirs and be proud of. I was able to afford to give each of my students a pack of markers at the beginning of the year, and they loved it! Imagine if they had even more learning tools...

Please help me start the 2009-2010 school year off right. You can help my classroom by making a donation. How wonderful would it be if my students could walk in on the first day of school to a desk full of supplies for the year, all to themselves?
