FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Arambula's classroom raised $839

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 teach an incredible group of students who are curious, creative, and eager to learn. Every day, they bring energy and enthusiasm to the classroom, but many of them face challenges beyond their control. Despite these obstacles, they show up ready to engage, explore, and grow.

With these materials, they can participate in hands-on activities, collaborate on projects, and express their ideas in meaningful ways.

Whether it's creating a visual timeline in history, annotating texts in English, or engaging in group discussions using headphones for digital learning, these tools help bring our lessons to life.

My goal with this project is to ensure that every student has access to the basic supplies they need to succeed. No student should feel limited because they don’t have a pencil to write with or materials to complete a creative assignment. Your support will not only help my students academically but also boost their confidence and sense of belonging in the classroom.

What makes my students special is their resilience and determination. They inspire me daily with their hard work and perseverance. With your generosity, I can provide them with the tools they need to thrive and continue their journey of learning with excitement and confidence. Thank you for believing in them!
