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

Oh, noooo!! An iPad fell to the floor and the screen cracked... We can avoid this through careful safety precautions AND a case and screen protector.

My fabulous first graders are amazing!

They are sweet, smart, and incredibly ready to learn! They are like little sponges coming in each day ready to grow and understand even more about their world! They are going to love the iPad that we have and are highly motivated to work on it!

My Project

We have a new iPad, but no case or screen protector! The back of the iPad is slick, so we're constantly afraid of it falling off a desk. Accidents do happen, but right now we have no protection. The case we are requesting will give us the extra protection we need against an accidental fall to the floor. Help save our iPad! Right now, if it were to fall on the floor, the screen would surely crack. Then, we would be without an iPad. If we had a case, maybe an accidental fall would not result in our iPad being ruined.

This project is important because generous donors have already provided an iPad and now we just need a cover to protect it!

The iPad will be so motivating for students and I want it to last a long time!
