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

In September I am not sure how we will return to school, but I am certain that the students and their families in my school community have been hit hard by this pandemic. Not only are we located in an epicenter of the virus but families have struggled with unemployment and difficulty with getting basic resources. When we go back to school, in whatever capacity, I want to be able to ensure my students have the supplies they need to most efficiently begin the school year off right. When families may be dealing with difficulty to provide basic needs I want to ensure my families are not burdened with tracking down basic school supplies for their children. Please support my project to provide basic supplies for my students.

My Project

We are getting reading to get back into the classroom. We don’t want to waste any time worried about having pencils, and when we say pencils we mean Ticonderogas! Other pencils just won’t cut it for my superstar Kindergarteners....only the best for Ms. Boison’s Crew. We also would like to have a high-speed sharpener to get the learning started right!

I’m not sure if you’ve had much experience sharpening pencils, I mean a lot, every day, but most of the pencils out there just don’t compare.

It’s a constant battle of sharpening and breaking, sharpening and breaking. We don’t have time for that, especially this year! We need to get right to business! We would be so grateful if you could support us in our learning this year.

Many of my student's families are working hard to rebound from the struggles they endured during the Covid pandemic. I am hoping to keep it simple for them and not overburden them with a request for too many supplies. If you can support we would be so grateful!
