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
Our kiddos are excited about very few things but when it comes to creative writing they are over joyed to sit and writing their fiction and non fiction stories down on paper. In order to support their passion we are in need of lots of pencils.
With your help please help us to provide our writers with wooden pencils, mechanical pencils, erasers and pencil sharpener so they can continue on their writing journey throughout the school year.
Our kiddos are bright passionate change agents ready to take on the world.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
