Celebrating 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 come to math class ready to learn, but many of them face a simple yet frustrating obstacle—they don’t have pencils. Something as small as a pencil can make a big difference in a student's ability to stay focused, complete work, and feel confident in class. I'm requesting donations to help provide a steady supply of pencils and gel pens so that every student can come to class prepared every day. Your support will help remove this barrier and create a better learning environment for everyone. Thank you for considering a donation to our classroom!
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
