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

As a teacher in an inner-city public school, I've learned so much from my students' resilience. They inspire me to be the best teacher that I can be every day. I teach in the heart of the Bronx. My school is a Title I school. This means that my students are at risk of failure and live at or near poverty. Although​ they face hardships and cope with a variety of circumstances at home, they walk into my classroom with ​incredible enthusiasm and a desire to learn.

I teach 30 bright and enthusiastic children that deserve to have a fair and equal opportunity to obtain a high-quality education.

My Project

Building excitement and joy around learning continues to be my mission! This school year has been no different. However, the most basic of supplies and materials have been hard to come by. Sharpened pencils, glue sticks, copy and chart paper are supplies that we constantly run out of.

Your contribution will help stock our classroom with essential supplies that will help my student's focus remain on their daily learning targets.

There is nothing basic about having classroom supplies easily accessible for students on a daily basis. These supplies will give my students the tools they rely on to grow and learn as readers, writers and thinkers.
