Equip Young Minds: Help Us Provide Essential School Supplies!

Help me give my students the basic classroom supplies they need and the tools for a brighter future!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Azpeitia's classroom raised $420

This project is fully funded

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

As a teacher dedicated to nurturing the minds of my students, I know that having the right tools is essential to fostering creativity, growth, and success. Unfortunately, many of my students come to school without the basic supplies they need to thrive. Simple items like copy paper, pencil sharpeners, and markers are crucial for day-to-day learning, but these resources are often in short supply.

With your support, I can ensure that every student has the materials they need to engage in hands-on activities, complete assignments, and express their ideas confidently.

Your donation will go directly toward providing our classroom with the essentials—replenishing our stock of copy paper for projects and assignments, a pencil sharpener to keep our students' tools ready for use, and basic supplies like markers and post-its to keep students on track throughout the year. The Multi-Port Laptop Dock I am requesting will allow me to connect to a projector as well as print assignments, and charge their electronics. By contributing to this project, you'll help create an environment where students can focus on their learning without worrying about the lack of necessary supplies. Together, we can give every student the chance to succeed and build the foundation for a brighter future. Thank you for your generosity!
