Empower 7th Graders with the Tools to Succeed in Math

Help me give my students access to calculators, which are not just classroom tools—they’re confidence-builders, helping students tackle more complex problems, explore real-world applications, and stay engaged in their learning.

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 on behalf of a group of bright, eager 7th-grade students at a Title I school where many of our families face financial hardships. Despite the challenges they experience outside the classroom, our students show up each day ready to learn, grow, and chase their dreams.

This year, we’re striving to strengthen our math program, and a key component of that is ensuring every student has access to a calculator.

Calculators are not just classroom tools—they’re confidence-builders, helping students tackle more complex problems, explore real-world applications, and stay engaged in their learning.

Your generosity would directly equip our 7th graders with the tools they need to succeed—not just in math, but in building skills they’ll carry into high school, college, and beyond.

On behalf of our students and staff, thank you for considering this opportunity to make a lasting impact.
