Help me give my students school supplies to eliminate the financial burden on my title 1 families

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 is to benefit two third grade classrooms. This would eliminate the need for our families to have to rush to get supplies but also make sure that families that cannot get to the store, or afford supplies, will have what they need within the classroom.

We would like to ease the financial burned on our families by providing basic supplies within our classrooms that we could reuse year after year.

The folders we chose are plastic so they can easily be used beyond just one year. Scissors are so important to create projects to enrich their learning and make it stick. Crayola materials are the best products to use in the classroom. They work so much better than off brands that some students bring and then struggle to use the whole year.
