Starting the Year With a Blast!

Help me give my students exciting new materials to start the new school year with a blast!

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

Starting the year is such a fun experience! I would love to provide my students with some of the necessary materials for the start of the school year!

I would like to provide my students with many art supply materials to start out the year expressing their creativity and individuality!

The materials I am requesting are materials we will use every day like a new sharpener so they can keep their tools as sharp as their brain! Glue to keep their ideas intact, bulletin items with their names to showcase their work for all to see and creative outdoor activities to keep them engaged. My students come to school excited about their first year in elementary school and eager to learn new things every day. Please help me prepare my students for success with these materials!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
