This project is fully funded

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

I teach at a Title I school in Bridgeport where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. My seventh and eighth grade scholars are in love with using technology but they rarely get the opportunity to use it.

Many of my students receive backpack food on the weekend.

Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can so they can be successful one day.

My Project

My students deserve to have technology in their classroom. This iPad mini will help my scholars become familiar with the technology that they will be using to take the standardized tests. Giving low-income students access to new technology is an investment in their future.

The donations for this project will improve my classroom greatly by reducing the amount of behavioral issues, because I will be able to provide the appropriate stimulation that my students need, and still meet their educational needs.

They will now be able to work on math projects as well as other projects they weren't able too, due to the lack of technology in their homes. This is their miracle.
