Creating an Effective Community With Ms. Martinez

Help me give my students a safe, warm, and organized environment, where they need only to worry about their grades, not a lack of resources.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Martinez's classroom raised $587

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

Students within a Title I school need an environment they can call home.

By incorporating utility carts, a heater, standing desk, books, and other essential items that will make their everyday life in my classroom comfortable and organized, students will be motivated to focus more on their work and less on whether they are cold, or wonder if the pencil sharpener works, or if their book will fall apart on them.

This is why the items within this list are included; they support students' need to be safe and comfortable within the classroom without worry about lack of resources.
