Help me give my students the gift of normalcy. We are just easing back into school in person. We have missed these walls, the life, love and laughter that shine through each day.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Bedard's classroom raised $403

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 2nd-grade students are an amazing group of children from a very diverse inner-city school in Lowell, MA. They love learning. They love coming to school each day and I love being able to teach them. Many of my students face incredible challenges each and every day, yet they come to school with an open heart and an open mind. So much of what we do in our day-to-day, both inside and outside of school, is all for our students. From spending our own money to asking for support from families and local programs. It is an honor to be able to do this job each and every day, and I just want to provide my students with as many opportunities as I can because they don't often get that outside of school. Our classroom is our home, our community, and our family. Thank you, DonorsChoose for giving me this chance. I love my job and I am blessed to have donors like you.
My Project
We would love to be able to paint our own portraits to hang on our classroom wall and take home with us at the end of a very trying year. We are a class full of budding artists and we attend weekly zoom art classes but we thought this would be so fun to do in person with our friends and then hang them for all who visit us to be able to see. We are slowly bringing life back into our school buildings and who wouldn't want to stare at such cute faces all day long.
