Celebrating 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
I teach first grade at a Title I school that primarily serves students of color from underserved communities. Many of my students face financial challenges, and our school has limited resources to provide the basic supplies they need to thrive in the classroom.
That’s why I’m asking for your help to fund essential, everyday materials that will support my students’ learning from the very first day of school.
Your donation will provide each student with their own pencil box, big erasers, cap erasers, dry-erase erasers, crayons, individual timers, math manipulatives, and name tags—tools they will use daily and depend on to stay organized, engaged, and confident.
Having a full class set of supplies ensures that no child has to go without or feel left out. It also helps us create a clean, efficient classroom where students can take ownership of their materials without needing to share frequently used items—something especially important for building independence and reducing distractions.
Your support would mean so much to my students and me. It’s not just about pencils or erasers—it’s about equity, dignity, and creating a learning environment where every child has what they need to succeed.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
