Super Students Need Supplies!

Help me give my students the basic school supplies they need to be successful!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. De La Garza's classroom raised $184

This project is fully funded

Celebrating 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

When I look at my students, I see the future, and it is a bright one.

My kids are intelligent, highly motivated, kind, and eager to learn.

They love learning about the universe in science class, solving problems to become “detectives” in math, learning about our country's history in social studies, and discovering new ideas in the reading. My students are some of the brightest, most wonderful children I’ve ever met. Most of my students are from low income backgrounds, and they deserve every opportunity they can get to learn and grow. I strive to offer an inclusive and comfortable learning environment where they feel safe and welcome.

My Project

As students return from a virtual school year last year, I want to help my students be prepared for learning. The materials requested will help students focus in class. It is hard to learn when you don't have the basic supplies, and many of my students don't have those things.

I want my students to be able to focus on their learning, not on what they don't have.

Having these basics (folders, pencils, glue sticks, pencil bags, highlighters) will help every student in my classroom be able to focus on what we are learning. Each student in my class has the ability to learn, and with these supplies, they will be able to do so without worrying about running out of supplies.
