Just the Basics

Help me give my students loose-leaf paper, a sharpener, and pencils; all the basic supplies needed to be their best!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Caro's classroom raised $195

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

How much more basic does it get than pencils and erasers? So far this year between two classes we have used an amazing amount of paper, pencils, and erasers. They get used, dropped, and left behind and it is that time of year when pencils start to become a hot commodity.

Help me give my students the comfort of knowing when they come to school they will have the tools they need to complete their work.

These pencils, paper, and erasers will hopefully last for the remainder of the school year.

Some families are not able to buy most of the basic supplies and I know that there are wonderful people in this world who want to help!
