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
My students are resilient, curious, and full of heart. Every day, they show up ready to learn, support each other, and push through challenges with determination and joy. I love their creativity, their questions, and the way they light up when something finally clicks. They inspire me to give my best because they always bring theirs.
As we approach the end of the school year, daily essentials like snacks, pencils, tissues, and hand sanitizer may seem small, but they make a big difference.
A quick snack helps students stay focused and energized through long afternoons. Fresh pencils keep their ideas flowing and their work sharp. Tissues and hand sanitizer help us stay healthy and comfortable so we can keep learning without interruptions. These basics ensure that our classroom stays a welcoming, well-equipped space where every student can thrive.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
