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
At the heart of every great STEM lesson is the ability for students to explore, calculate, and create with confidence. To kick off the new school year, our classroom is seeking donations to provide essential tools for success: mechanical pencils, erasers, lead refills, and rulers. These may seem like simple supplies, but they are the foundation for precision, problem-solving, and productivity in our science, technology, engineering, and math activities.
Imagine trying to solve complex equations or sketch engineering designs without a reliable pencil or a straight edge.
My students are bright, curious, and eager to dive into hands-on learning, but many lack access to consistent, quality materials. With your support, we can eliminate that barrier and give every student a fair chance to participate fully and confidently in our STEM challenges. These supplies empower students to focus on learning rather than worrying about running out of lead or having broken tools.
Your donation will directly support a classroom full of future engineers, coders, scientists, and mathematicians. By equipping them with the tools they need, you're not only investing in their education—you’re investing in their dreams. Thank you for helping us start this school year strong and STEM-smart!
More than half of students from low‑income households
