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

In our Title I high school, many of our students are passionate about learning but face significant barriers due to limited resources. Our chemistry class is no exception. To ensure that every student can fully engage with the curriculum and succeed, we need your support to provide basic but crucial supplies.

Our goal is to equip our students with essential materials such as 3-ring binders, pencils, and dry erase markers.

These supplies are the foundation of an organized and effective learning environment.

3-Ring Binders: These will help our students keep their notes, handouts, and assignments neatly organized. An organized binder helps students manage their materials better and reduces the stress of misplaced assignments.

Pencils: While often overlooked, having a reliable supply of pencils ensures that every student can participate actively in class without interruption.

Dry Erase Markers: These are essential for interactive learning activities on whiteboards. They allow for dynamic teaching methods and help students visualize complex concepts in chemistry.

Your generous contribution will make a tangible difference in our classroom. With these basic supplies, we can create an environment where students are better prepared to learn and excel. Thank you for supporting our students and helping to spark their interest in chemistry!
