Help me give my students a Cricut cutter and art supplies to explore their creative abilities.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Chavez's classroom raised $576

This project is fully funded

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

All donated items will be used for the Communities in the Schools room, where we provided snacks and a creative place for students to feel comfortable being themselves. Snacks, like Pop-Tarts Toaster Pastries, are provided for students who often skip breakfast or may not always have food at home. I inquired for an elite gourmet ECT cool touch toaster to provide the students with a warm breakfast item.

I also chose a Soucolor Art and crafts supplies set, along with a Circuit Joy machine to help inspire creativity in our students to work on projects based on Social Emotional learning.

By providing our students with items such as a Managerial executive office chair, I am able to create a space for students to use where they can work comfortably and efficiently. Since our space is limited, I chose a Winsome Halifax storage organization drawer that can be used to keep items such as the art supplies organized in the supply closet. Along with a Punion heavy duty clothing garment rack to keep our clothing closet well organized and easy access to the students.

Your generous donation is appreciated and will help us reach our main goal which is to help students stay in school and graduate.
