Please Help My Immigrant Students With Materials and Food!

Help me give my students materials in Spanish and help with food insecurities.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Atkins's classroom raised $224

This project is fully funded

My Project

I have received several immigrant students who have come from living in tents. These students do not speak English and I have no materials to support their learning needs and they are suffering with food insecurities.

Please help my immigrant students with materials in Spanish and help with food insecurities.

My students have only come with a bookbag. They need books in Spanish, food and snacks to eat and share with their families and school supplies, to help them catch up with my other preschoolers.

These snacks will be distributed to their families equally, the books, art supplies and the rest of the materials again will be distributed to the families; with a note highlighting that donors purchased these materials and how important their learning means to them.

It's hard for these children to see the other students with supplies and they don't have any.

I am so very grateful for your donations. I am doing the best I can, but I don't receive any extra funds to help them.
