A Little Touch of Kindness!

Help me give my students a little something to make their day extra special.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Garcia's classroom raised $730

This project is fully funded

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

A little touch of kindness goes a long way!! Please help me acknowledge my students on their birthdays. Gifting them a little something to make them feel extra special on their birthday will boost up their self esteem and hopefully make them feel seen and cared for.

It is so important for students to know their teacher cares and remembers their special day.

Adding birthday items to our class culture will make my students feel a sense of belonging. Also, providing color paper for class projects will make therm happy and will help them add creativity and color to their work.
