Help me give my students ink. We are using an amazing printer to find articles, do research, and print our published materials. We need replacement ink cartridges so we can continue to use this printer.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Parks's classroom raised $677
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
My students are an enthusiastic, imaginative group of fifth graders. They are living in an inner-city community. Many are living in shelters. Some are English Language Learners and others have an Individualized Educational Plan. There are many students who have repeated a grade. Most face challenges both inside and outside of school on a daily basis. Despite these challenges, they love learning. They work hard every day in school and at home. They work with classmates to problem solve. They have goals and are working hard to achieve them.
My Project
In order to regularly use our computer for printing reading materials, doing research, and publishing our own work we need ink.
Our ink has run dry.
Our high capacity printer has ink that lasts a long time, but it has finally run dry. We cannot use the printer without ink cartridge replacements.
We can get back into our printing routine as soon as we have replacement cartridges. We have stories to publish, photos to print and many articles to keep us up to date on current events. We can only do this with some additional ink. This purchase should keep us printing for a while.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
