Supplies for Success: Empowering Students Through Giving

Help me give my students tools to learn effectively reducing financial strain on families and teachers.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Quintero's classroom raised $484

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 Project

I love my students' curiosity, enthusiasm, and determination to learn and grow every day. Each resource will provide them with the tools they need to engage in hands-on learning, stay organized, and build confidence in their abilities, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to succeed.

Item like folders, card stock, and poster boards that I am requesting will make a difference by providing my students with essential tools to stay engaged, organized, and actively participate in learning.

My goals for this project are to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment where every student has access to the supplies they need to succeed. I want to eliminate barriers to learning by ensuring no child has to struggle due to a lack of materials.

What makes my students special is their resilience, eagerness to learn, and creativity. They come from diverse backgrounds, bringing unique perspectives and strengths to the classroom. With the right resources, they can fully explore their potential and achieve their academic goals.
