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 need pencils to be successful in class. I purchased pencils and an electric pencil sharpener for them at the beginning of the school year, but the sharpener is now broken and the pencils are all gone.

I am not sure what my students do with their pencils, but there are 18 to 25 English Learners each period who need a pencil and many who need to sharpen their pencils.

Also, we need to keep our classroom clean each time a class ends. So, cleaning supplies are also a huge need to provide a healthy learning environment.

I really appreciate your consideration of funding my project. Having a pencil sharpener, pencils and cleaning supplies would allow my students fewer excuses and the ability to use their class time effectively.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Duboy
