My students need a variety of classroom materials, including playground balls and tissues.

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
My students are from a low income area that has a great community with lots of support. They work hard for themselves and for their families. Many live in situations where they are in one home with over 4 families living together, yet they come to school everyday ready to learn and grow.
Our school does as much as it can to help and assist the families of our students and we strive to make a better future for them to live in.
My Project
My students can't afford to get the supplies they need as they run out and the district can't re-supply them in a timely manner, meaning many of my students are using supplies as I can find them or supply them myself.
We could really use these items to help our classroom get more organized, as it is only the third month of the school year and we are already running out of supplies.
Many of my students' parents can't afford to buy the supplies on the supply list and therefore our classroom has been mostly supplied by what little the district can provide and what I am able to get on my own.
The balls would be great since right now we only have one ball in our class that we use for PE. The children want more that they can use during recess. But I don't allow them to use that one because if we didn't have that we wouldn't be able to have our PE games.
The popsicle sticks are so I can put the students names on them and pick them to answer questions.
The tissues are because our classroom has already run out of tissues for this school year. We've been having to use paper towels instead, and the students complained that they hurt their noses.
The Expo markers would be for the students because they each have a whiteboard to use for Math and for spelling but we've run out of Expo markers for them.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
