FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gaytan's classroom raised $196
This project is fully funded
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 are enthusiastic and curious learners who love expressing their ideas through writing and drawing. Every day, they use pencils to solve math problems, write stories, and illustrate their thoughts—but sometimes, pencils break! A reliable electric pencil sharpener will ensure that students can stay focused on their work without interruptions, keeping the learning flowing smoothly. Additionally, our classroom printer is an essential tool for creating engaging learning materials, printing student work for publishing, and bringing colorful resources to life. With fresh ink, I can provide students with vibrant visuals, personalized learning tools, and meaningful projects that showcase their growth.
This project will help my students stay engaged and ready to learn without the frustration of dull pencils or missing materials.
My goal is to create a classroom where students have the tools they need to express themselves, stay motivated, and take pride in their work. These young learners are creative, determined, and always eager to grow—helping them stay prepared with sharp pencils and bright prints will make a big difference in their daily success!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
