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
Imagine a world where young minds are bursting with curiosity, but their pencils have vanished like socks in the laundry. A world where brilliant ideas are trapped inside heads because there’s no paper to bring them to life. Welcome to my 7th and 8th grade Math & Science classroom, where my students are eager to solve equations, graph the mysteries of the universe, and take notes like future Nobel Prize winners—if only they had the right tools!
With these essentials, my students can fully engage in hands-on learning, confidently take notes, organize their thoughts, and build a strong foundation in math and science.
No more "I forgot my paper!" or "My pencil broke!" Instead, they’ll focus on critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation.
Loose-leaf lined and graph paper will help my students take organized notes and sketch out scientific discoveries and algebraic solutions. Mechanical pencils with lead refills ensure continuous learning without the frustration of broken tips. Legal pads for a space for brainstorming, problem-solving, and journaling their ideas, while storage bins keep our classroom organized and chaos-free of lost supplies.
My students are a blend of future engineers, scientists, and thinkers who approach challenges with determination and creativity. They are curious, resilient, and never afraid to ask, "Why?" (which, as any teacher knows, is both delightful and slightly exhausting!) They are diverse, enthusiastic, and full of potential—they just need the right tools to turn their "Aha!" moments into reality.
With your support, we will create a learning environment that fosters confidence, curiosity, and academic success. These supplies will help students stay organized, think critically, and prepare for bright futures in STEM fields.
Your donation is more than paper and pencils—it’s fuel for young minds, inspiration for future problem-solvers, and a gift of endless possibilities.
More than half of students from low‑income households
