“Stick With Us: Tools to Bring Student Projects to Life”

Help me give my students Last year we struggled due to a lack of basic supplies. Some students had to share tools or wait for others to finish, and we didn’t have the funds to purchase additional items.

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 are curious, hands-on learners who thrive when given the opportunity to bring their ideas to life. They take pride in building, designing, and seeing their work come together—especially during creative, real-world projects like our electrical house unit. Many of them come to class excited to work with their hands and explore skills that could lead to future careers in trades, design, or engineering.

What I love most about my students is their determination.

Even when we don’t have enough supplies, they find ways to collaborate and stay engaged. But it shouldn’t be a struggle to access the basic tools needed to succeed. Last year, we didn’t have enough cordless glue guns, glue sticks, or supplies for each student to complete their project on time. Many had to wait their turn, share limited resources, or go without finishing.

This project will change that. The Ryobi Cordless Glue Guns and bulk packs of glue sticks will ensure every student has the tools they need, when they need them. These cordless tools are safer, more efficient, and perfect for our classroom setup, allowing students to focus on creativity and learning—not on waiting.

With these resources, my students can experience the satisfaction of completing their projects with confidence and independence.
