Back to Basics

Help me give my students basic school supplies to replenish frequently used materials.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Velez's classroom raised $406

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

My students are in need of replenishing frequently used school supplies. We are constantly using and are in need of glue sticks, writing materials, and crafting supplies for the upcoming holidays. I am excited to get my students to fall in love with writing by having fun exploring colorful pens that will help them make their writing stand out.

This project will help me provide my students with much needed basic supplies that will provide them with a positive learning experience.

They will be able to share their writing with their families and build a strong school to home connection.
