Back to School Essentials

Help me give my students some critical back-to-school basics and restock on some much needed supplies.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. D. López's classroom raised $685

This project is fully funded

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 goal for this project is to restock some much essential items that students will need throughout the school year! Notebooks, makers, and a three-hole punch will allow students to stay organized while creating fun projects. Extension strips and cord protectors will allow students to charge and utilize their Chromebooks for day-to-day classroom assignments. PENCILS! Students go through pencils so quickly as this is something they use every single day. This is the one item that students use consistently throughout the classroom. These materials are all essential in maintaining a warm and demanding yet welcoming environment.
