Help me give my students receive brand new graphic novels to love reading as well as toner cartridges.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Alvarado's classroom raised $530

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

With the new year starting, many of the books in my library have been used and loved. These new books will truly help foster a love for reading in my students. Graphic novels help readers on all levels feel included and valued.

Students run to get a chance to be the first person to read a brand new graphic novel.

The brand new, colored ink will help create an organized and easy accessible classroom. This will help us create color coded grammar and sentence structure activities among many other uses.
