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
Dear Donors,
We hope to enhance the learning experience of our students in the Self-Contained Special Education Program by acquiring electronic pencil sharpeners and hole punchers for our classrooms.
These seemingly simple tools can make a world of difference in our students' educational journey. Our dedicated group of educators works tirelessly to provide the best education possible to children with unique needs, and we need your support to make our classrooms even more conducive to learning.
Why Electronic Pencil Sharpeners?
Imagine the frustration of a student who struggles with fine motor skills, trying to sharpen a pencil with a manual sharpener. These electronic pencil sharpeners will provide our students with a quick and efficient way to keep their pencils sharp, ensuring they can focus on their work without the added stress of manually sharpening pencils. This small change can lead to big improvements in their confidence and independence.
Why Hole Punchers?
In our classrooms, we emphasize organization and the development of essential life skills. Hole punchers are essential for our students to keep their classwork and assignments organized in binders. By having access to hole punchers, our students can independently prepare their materials, which promotes self-reliance and a sense of accomplishment.
How You Can Help:
Your generous donation will directly impact the lives of our special education students. With your support, we can purchase electronic pencil sharpeners and hole punchers for each classroom. These tools will be used daily, benefiting not only the current students but also those who will come in the years ahead.
Your donation, no matter the size, will help us achieve our goal. We genuinely appreciate any support you can provide to help make our special education classrooms more efficient and student-friendly.
More than half of students from low‑income households
