Mrs. Garringer from Erin TN is requesting materials related to food, clothing & hygiene through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Essentials Are a Must

Help me give my students essential items, such as deodorant, hair brushes, toothbrushes, the food they can microwave, and other items they may need and not have at home.

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

Sometimes I have students that have no essential items at home and we need to have them available so they can get them. These will be given out as needed. They will be in our NEEDS closet for students that need them. Sometimes our students go through floods or traumatic events in life.

It is important to make sure our students know we care and we cannot expect students to care about learning when their basic needs are not met.

This project will help all of our students in the school that need help.

Grades 6-8
