My students need basic beginning of the year supplies such as pencils, pens, tissues, and a pencil case to hold them.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Wolf's classroom raised $510

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 Students
My students want what we all do--a safe home, good friends, good health, opportunities to learn and grow, and the chance to make a difference in the world. They come to me from over twenty countries, speaking a dozen languages. On the first day of school, when my students are in a new classroom, with a new teacher, speaking a language that is new to them, it's understandable they're a bit anxious and the room is quiet.
It is so important in that first day to set the tone that not only are they welcome, but that I want them to have the tools to succeed.
My Project
Most of my students' families fall below the poverty line. Many are on public assistance; many others are barely surviving. Yet, my students are expected to meet the same educational standards as more affluent students of New York. My proposal is in the first week of school to provide all of my students with a pencil pouch containing all of the basic supplies they need to complete their classwork and lab assignments in class. Items like pencils, pens, glue sticks, and tissues that are always in demand will now be close at hand.
With all the difficulties in their lives, often students lose or forget to bring in supplies.
Some simply cannot afford to purchase the needed supplies. Your act of kindness and generosity will go a long way in eliminating this obstacle to the learning process and will be remembered by our students. Students will also know that there are people in their community who care about them and their education.
Your act of kindness and generosity will have a long-lasting impact on our students. Please help me help those most in need while we make learning fun and engaging. Thank you for your generosity.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
