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 Language Arts and Social Justice Magnet School emphasizes the respect of self and others. This encompasses discipline and high expectations as well as activism and compassion. The kids know they will be Agents of Change and follow our school motto, "Be the change you want to see in the world." - Mahatma Ghandi

We are classified as a "highest poverty" school and the kids at our school are brilliant.

They deserve excellent educational resources. Although my kids may lack financial resources, they have an incredible work ethic and desire to learn. We are a full Title I school, a vast majority of our students qualify for free or reduced lunches.

Our students may lack the material privileges that other American children are fortunate to have, but they certainly make up for it with talent, fortitude, and sheer intelligence. We live in a world where our youth are simply not provided with enough quality resources to shine; your donation will make the dream of a bright future come true.

My Project

The supplies will provide my students with what they need to begin their second grade school year. This project will help ease the students' first day jitters and relieve the anxiety of not having the supplies they need. They will now be able to focus on their academic development without the stress of missing supplies or running out of the small amount they do bring. Your donation will comfort my students while providing them with a sense of excitement and motivation as they begin their second grade school year. The donations will help my classroom have more of the resources we need readily available for the students.

This project would solve one of those simple, daily life needs that exist in every classroom.

Having a variety of pencils ready at their desks will give each student the power to solve their own problem (and learn that a broken pencil point is not, in fact, a Major Life Crisis). Classroom battery powered pencil sharpeners will allow us to get a fresh batch of pencils sharp and ready to go quickly and efficiently. This sharpeners would make our lives a lot easier. Glue sticks will help aid them in their projects and pencil boxes will help keep them organized.

Your donation will make a real difference. We thank you!
