Backpacks for School Readiness and Learning

My students need backpacks to carry their educational resources and books to complete daily homework assignments and projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Munoz's classroom raised $774

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 Students

My students are eager, highly active, curious, and imaginative hands-on learners. My students are engaged daily in a rigorous, integrated academic curriculum. My students live in a high poverty, metropolitan city and attend a Title 1 school. Our inner city school lacks the funding to access supplemental learning materials.

My students show up to class daily and work diligently to overcome the many challenges they face living in the inner city.

My students enjoy working cooperatively and display great creativity. Parents continually seek the best possible educational opportunities for their child. Additionally, I believe children benefit from experiences that include discovery, exploration, awakening curiosity, and an appreciation of good health.

My Project

Our school community has a huge number of students whose families are balancing housing, food, healthcare, transportation and so much more with so very little.

A sturdy backpack and necessary schools supplies are out of reach for my students' families.

My students will benefit from such a baseline need for school readiness. Students will be able to carry their Science, Math and library books home for daily homework activities and projects. Also, my students will feel prepared for school, and increase their self-esteem and motivation to learn.

A backpack can make a big difference to every student in my classroom. Each backpack in the hands of a child means every child will be ready to succeed.
