Starting the Year Off Right

Help me give my students the tools to start off the new school year right!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Guerrero's classroom raised $999

This project is fully funded

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

My students come from very disadvantaged homes and at times getting their basic needs met is a challenge. My student's parents work so hard to take care of the kids at home I want to ease their burden and let them know their kids will have all the things they need to start the new school year off right.

Students should feel loved and taken care at home and at school!

This project will be the beginning of achieving that goal at school. The most valued item I am wishing for is the headphones. It is so hard to teach when students don't have headphones and have the sound on!
