Help Us Keep Our Pants On!

My students need pants available to them for emergency situations in school.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Benson's classroom raised $986

This project is fully funded

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 Students

Our Title I school is located in an area that is filled with a very diverse group of young learners. Some, not all, of our students are considered to be both special needs as well as English Language Learners (ELL).

My students are extremely inquisitive and always asking questions and looking to explore new ideas on a daily basis.

The funding from this project would enable my school to have spare clothing items on hand for students who may be in need during the school day.

My Project

The goal of this project is to add on to the community closet that we have build this year, thanks to past projects on DonorsChoose.org. As the saying goes, kids will be kids, and sometimes kids rip their pants. Young kids also can potentially have accidents, and as a school our goal is to not allow small occurrences like this, ruin a child's day.

By having these pants in our closet, in a variety of sizes, we are ensuring that no matte the student or the problem, it will be fixed in a timely manner allowing them to return back to their day quickly and effortlessly.
