it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
As educators dedicated to providing engaging and enriching learning experiences, we are seeking support to provide puzzles for our students.
Puzzles are more than just fun activities—they are valuable educational tools that foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and spatial reasoning skills.
They also promote collaboration, creativity, and perseverance, all of which are essential for academic success and personal growth.
Unfortunately, many of our students do not have access to puzzles at home or in our classrooms. That's why we are turning to generous individuals like you for help.
Your donation will enable us to acquire a variety of puzzles that will benefit students of all ages and abilities. From jigsaw puzzles and brain teasers to logic puzzles and spatial puzzles, these resources will provide our students with endless opportunities for learning, exploration, and fun.
By investing in our puzzle project, you will empower our students to become confident, independent learners who are eager to tackle challenges and explore new ideas. Your generosity will not only enrich their educational experiences but also inspire them to think creatively and approach problems with confidence and resilience.
More than three‑quarters of 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
