Stress Free Learning

Help me give my students peace of mind as they come to school to learn.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Garst's classroom raised $595

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 Students

My students are entering a building in a hybrid model, where they come every other day. They will need to have PPE available every single day to help them feel safe. I'd love for them to take the fear out of coming to school so they can embrace learning!

My Project

Students who are coming to school every other day are unable to share materials. Hopefully by the donation to this project we will be able to print out copies of work that they can use on their own. They will not be able to hand them in or share them.

Students should feel safe as they come to school to learn.

The supplies listed in this project will allow student to have their own booklets that we will make from printing them and their own writing utensils. Furthermore, students will have access to supplies that will help keep them clean and feel less stressed to work in this new world environment.

Thank you for your consideration!!
