Help me give my students the essentials they will need to succeed next school year!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Salafia's classroom raised $947
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
As a teacher, I see firsthand the daily struggles some of my students face when As a teacher deeply committed to fostering a love of learning and ensuring every one of my students has the opportunity to thrive, I often see firsthand the challenges they face when lacking basic necessities. My goal is to create an equitable and engaging classroom where all my students can reach their full potential, and that starts with having the right tools. You see, my students are a wonderfully diverse and resilient group. They come from a variety of backgrounds, each with unique talents and perspectives that enrich our classroom community. They are bright, curious, and eager to learn, but sometimes circumstances beyond their control create obstacles. When you consider donating student essentials like pencils, Chromebook chargers, tape, and highlighters, you're directly investing in their ability to succeed and helping me level the playing field for each and every one of these special learners.
What truly makes a difference in their learning and well-being are the resources that allow them to participate fully and feel supported.
Beyond the fundamental tools, donations of disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy learning environment for these incredible kids. When they have easy access to these supplies, it helps prevent the spread of germs, leading to fewer absences and more consistent learning. Your contribution of these seemingly small items has a big impact, fostering a classroom where my students can focus on learning without the worry of illness or lacking essential tools. Your generosity empowers them and sends a powerful message that their education matters.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
