The Essentials

Help me give my students the essentials they know and may not know they need!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Garcia's classroom raised $232

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

This project has things that the students know they need and things they may not realize they need. There is the obvious like pens and pencils that they constantly need. However, there is markers, a lamination machine, and hand sanitizer! They may not realize that lamination machine will help their projects last long after they have moved on from my class or the markers will add color that makes it last forever.

Students need supplies to be successful and this project is a few things they will always need!

By supporting us, like all the project here you are supporting the future! Help us get the things we may not realize we need! Thank you!
