Much Needed School Supplies For A Safe School Year

Help me give my students the individual supplies they need to stay safe.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Higgins's classroom raised $591

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

My 5th-grade students are from East Harlem in New York City. They come from diverse backgrounds and learning levels. Some are English language learners and others have Individual Education Plans. Many of the students also qualify for free or reduced-price lunches.

What I love about my students is their passion for learning, excitement to explore and their ability to have a positive outlook as they struggle and learn to overcome the impact Covid19 has had on their families and community.

These students amaze and inspire me daily. They deserve equality and opportunity to continue to grow and achieve their dreams.

My Project

So many students and their families have been impacted by Covid19 in this community. This year with so many unknowns and insecurities it would be wonderful if the students and their families did not have to worry about buying school supplies this year.

In years past, we shared our supplies, so to keep the amount and cost of supplies down, but this year it is so important that students have their own individual school supplies for the year and that can make it even harder on some families to provide.

These donations will help the students for the whole year and provide them with some safety as it will allow them to have their own personal items.
