Help me give my students art supplies, puzzles, and supplies to help keep my students comfortable.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Requardt's classroom raised $495

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

My students are creative, kind, and caring. Throughout the day I get frequent questions like "Miss do you have gum? Do you have cough drops? Can I use your lint roller?" I asked for supplies that make my students comfortable throughout the day, and also some basic art supplies like markers, pencils, and highlighters. I also would love to have puzzles in my class- when students are done with their work for the day, it would be great to have puzzles they can work on instead of going on their laptops. I also requested a Swiffer duster to help clean my classroom. Thank you so much for contributing towards my classroom and making my students more comfortable!
