Keeping The Kids Safe & Class Clean

Help me give my students the ease of mind returning back to school. Since many of my students' families have struggled during COVID-19 I am worried many students will return to school without basic sanitary supplies.

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

I am blessed to work at a school with a very diverse student population. Our school is a Title I school where many of our families come from low Socioeconomic households. Although my students do not always have basic resources at home, they always come to class with a positive learning attitude. We are in need of basic supplies such as snacks, clothing, and classroom materials since many families struggle to provide them. Students will benefit academically by having basic supplies in the classroom. In addition, with the stress of COVID-19 I am worried that many families will be unable to provide basic school supplies for their children. Thank you so much for your support!

My Project

This project will help keep my students safe when returning back to school in mid-August. Since many of the families at my school have been laid off during these difficult times, I am worried that many students will return to school without basic sanitary supplies. We would love to not stress about limited sanitary supplies, as well a technological supplies if we happen to transition back to e-learning later in the year. Funding this project would allow kids to transition in and out of the classroom safety, while still continuing their love for Science.
