FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bucci's classroom raised $193

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

Our students go through fidgets like water and we desperately need to replenish our supply heading into the second semester of the school year! New fidgets and word search books will provide middle school students with essential tools to support their social-emotional well-being. Fidgets can help students channel their energy and manage feelings of anxiety, allowing them to stay focused and engaged in class. By donating these items, you will give students a discreet and effective way to self-regulate, leading to improved behavior and academic success.

Word search books will offer students a calming activity to reduce stress and encourage mindfulness.

These books promote focus, persistence, and problem-solving, all while providing a much-needed break from screens. Your contribution will create a positive impact by equipping students with resources that help them navigate their emotions and thrive in a challenging school environment!
