Help me give my students essential materials to succeed this school year in the classroom.

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’m reaching out to ask for your support in helping our classroom get the essential supplies we need to finish the year strong and start the next one prepared.

Every day, my students rely on basic tools like pencils, highlighters, markers, and other supplies to engage in learning, express their ideas, and do their best work.

Unfortunately, these supplies run out quickly—and many families aren’t able to replace them throughout the year.

Your donation would go directly toward keeping our classroom stocked with the materials students need to succeed. With your support, we can ensure that every student has access to the tools that help them learn, create, and grow with confidence.

Even the smallest contribution can make a big difference—and we appreciate your generosity more than words can say!

With gratitude,

Ms. Hernandez
