Back to School Essential Needs!

Help me give my students Back to School Writing and Hygiene supplies. Kids who are not able to bring their own school supplies and/or disinfecting wipes don't feel uncomfortable and/or embarrassed.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Mendoza-Ramirez's classroom raised $488

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

It's that time of year again when both teachers and my 8th grade kiddos get excited and ready to return to school - with some jitters for sure!

Being able to provide disinfecting wipes along with facial tissues and writing supplies such as 3M post-its, markers, dots for hanging our work...all essential items needed to start on the RIGHT foot getting to know one another but keeping our areas and noses dry are desperately needed so we can 'dive in' and get ready to re-start our learning brains.

Thank you for your consideration.

Mrs. Mendoza-Ramirez Maria Saucedo Scholastic Academy Grades 6-8
