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

Hello! My name is Mrs. Shannon and I am teacher in a low-income neighborhood. My students come from diverse backgrounds and face many challenges, both at home and in the classroom. Many of my students lack basic classroom supplies, such as pencils, notebooks, and paper. Without these materials, they struggle to stay organized and engaged in their work. It’s heartbreaking to see their enthusiasm for learning stifled because they don’t have the tools they need. With your support, I’ll be able to provide each student with the supplies they need to excel—materials that will allow them to participate fully in lessons, stay organized, and feel proud of their work. Having these basic supplies will help them stay focused and confident as they learn and grow.

With your generous support, I can provide each student with the supplies they deserve.

This will help them stay organized, focused, and motivated as they learn. Every pencil, every notebook, and every box of crayons will be a tool to unlock their future success.

I’m excited to see how these supplies will help my students grow, and I truly believe that with the right materials, every child can achieve greatness. Thank you for making a difference in their lives.
