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.

I teach fourth grade in a low income, rural area of northern California. We are a Title I school with a high population of English language learners.

We have two electric pencil sharpeners in our room that are about to kick the bucket. I attempted to sharpen some new pencils this afternoon; one of the pencils literally went from the wooden end to the eraser without ever actually getting sharp. It ate the pencil completely! Then I decided to restock our colored pencils for a science activity tomorrow only to realize that most of the colored pencils were gone as well.

I am asking for two new electric pencils sharpeners and a class pack of colored pencils to replace our dwindling supply. These are simple, but very essential items!

Your donation will help ensure that we can write both in color (for projects and corrections) and traditionally! Please help us procure our indispensable supplies! Thank you so much!
