Help me give my students the most important tool that they need to learn and grown in first grade, a pencil. How simple?

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Jones's classroom raised $282

Celebrating 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 believe children are the future. Teach them well and let them lead the way." These are not only words from a popular song, but a strong belief that I hold as a teacher.

Equity for all!

My students are full of potential. They are bright shining beacons of light. I am asking for assistance so that they can glow like the stars that they are.

Fortunately, for the students in my class, envisioning the future is something we think of and talk about often. Because their daily existence is so challenging, I have them focus on their bright and delightful futures!

I teach in a low socio-economic area at a Title I school where ninety-nine percent of the population receives free breakfast and lunch at school. On most days, the hardiest and healthiest meals that the students receive are what they eat at school. It isn't unusual for the students in my class to stockpile food in their book bags to take home in order to have something to eat later that day.

Despite the harsh circumstances and backdrops of their lives, the students come to school daily with smiles on their faces.

My Project

My students live in area of the country that has been severely affected by the Corona Virus. Most of these children’s parents, are essential workers who were laid off during the pandemic. So, buying basic supplies for their child is near impossible. This is why, I need your help.

My students need pencils to do their work; a student without a pencil is like a bird without wings.

Please help!

A pencil is instrumental to a child's learning. My students are excited to be in school and eager to learn. However, almost all the children in my class show up daily without the materials they need for success. Let's fix that.
