Communication Is Key

Help me give my students screen protectors and colorful pictures for their communication aids!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kylie's classroom raised $627

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

Many of my students are nonverbal and require communication books or devices (such as iPads) to allow them to communicate. They are in need of binders, colorful pictures, and protective equipment to ensure that their communication needs are being met.

With your help, we can make meaningful and long-lasting communication aids!

The binders and ink will be used to create colorful communication books. The screen protectors will be used to protect my students' communication devices from breaks and cracks. These simple supplies are so valuable to us—your support will make a huge difference in the lives of my students!
