Essential Supplies Needed

Help me give my students the needed snacks and needed school supplies to continue their distance learning. They deserve nourishment to fuel their bodies and the school supplies to continue to the good work they are doing.

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 Students

At the moment, distance learning is a bit challenging for my students. They need the opportunity to have various resources to meet their learning needs.

My students need the essential items like snacks, paper, pencils, crayons, markers, and pens to be able to do their work.

They miss each other and our daily school routines. I just want them to have the same opportunities as the affluent schools when it comes to education during this pandemic.

My Project

During our stay at home orders to flatten the line of this COVID-19 virus, my students are not able to go out and get the things they need to do the good work they demonstrate on a daily basis.

They are shut indoors at their homes to learn distantly from their teacher.

I would like to supply them with some needed brain food to fuel their bodies and essential school supplies to do their school work.

I want to thank them for rising up to the challenge and being able to give them some snacks and school supplies would make me and them happy.
