FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Adi's classroom raised $700

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

The Special Education Necessities Project is dedicated to ensuring that every student with special needs has access to the tools like crayons and paper resources they require to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. With your generous support, we aim to create a more inclusive and equitable learning environment where every child can reach their full potential. Your donation will directly fund these critical supplies, transforming the daily educational experience for students who need it most. Small things like snacks that make a big difference in helping our students feel calm, cared for, and ready to learn. Our goal is to ensure that each child feels comfortable, respected, and uniquely supported throughout their day.

What makes our students special is their resilience, their kindness, and the way they light up the room with their joy and determination.

They each have a different way of seeing the world and learning from it—and it’s our privilege to help them succeed by giving them the tools and environment they need. With your support, we can turn our classroom into a space that reflects how special they truly are.
