Caring for the Whole Student

Help me give my students things that make them focus on learning and growing, items like hand sanitizer, tissues, and fidget tools may seem simple, but they provide comfort, safety, and peace of mind for my high schoolers.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Bustos Diaz's classroom raised $536

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

I love that my students are resilient, creative, and full of potential. Every day they show up ready to learn, even when life outside the classroom isn’t easy. I want them to feel safe, cared for, and valued when they walk through my door. These resources—like hand sanitizer, tissues, and fidget tools—may seem small, but they make a huge difference. They help my students focus, stay healthy, and manage stress so they can engage fully in their learning. When their basic needs are met, their confidence and success can truly shine.
