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
As a 4th grade teacher, I strive to create a learning environment where every student feels prepared and confident. Many of my students come to school without basic supplies, which can hinder their ability to fully engage in classroom activities. With your support, I hope to provide the class with the tools they need to succeed.
This project will fund:
Pencil pouches to help students stay organized
Sharpeners so they can keep their pencils ready for writing and drawing
Notebooks and paper for daily writing, math, and creative projects
LCD writing boards to make learning interactive and fun
These supplies will not only support academic success but also foster independence and pride in their work. Your generosity will make a lasting impact on their educational journey.
Thank you for helping us build a brighter future—one pencil pouch at a time!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
