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
In our school, many students face personal challenges that can affect their emotional well-being and ability to focus on learning. Whether it's the stress of family struggles, personal anxieties, or the daily pressures of school, our students need a source of comfort to help them through their day. We want to provide each of our students with an item to help reduce anxiety.
The simple items in this project are proven to reduce anxiety, help students feel secure, and offer a tangible form of comfort when needed most.
We are requesting crayons, glue, and storage to help them be successful throughout the day. With your support, we can provide each student in our school with an item to keep at their desk, in their backpack, or in the classroom as a source of reassurance and emotional support.
Nearly all 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
