FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. M.'s classroom raised $200

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

My students are in need of a few items to get the school year started.

My students need mechanical pencils, pencil sharpeners, and hole reinforcement stickers.

The mechanical pencils will be very helpful for the kids to use when switching classes between teachers for different subjects because they won't have to stop to sharpen their pencils. However, there are some students that prefer to use regular pencils, and that is what the pencil sharpeners are for. Also, our students are using binders with dividers as an organizational tool this year, so the hole reinforcement stickers will come in handy if one of their dividers or papers inside of their binders rips.

Thank you so much for reading about this project for my students!
