Classroom Materials

Help me give my students new materials to use in class such as pencils, tissues, and markers! I have ran out of materials this year and would love to be able to restock my 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 provide my students free access to a variety of materials throughout the year. I have ran out of my surplus of materials and would love to be able to restock my classroom.

Your contribution will allow my students to focus on their academics and not worry about their access to materials.

My school is a Title I school that serves low income first generation students in San Diego. I teach over 200 kids a year and supplies go quickly. These materials will set us up for the rest of this year and the start of the next.
