This teacher needs your help!

Ms. Salinas from Dallas, TX is requesting art supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

The Power of Hot Glue for Art Class!

Help me give my students essential art supplies. It's amazing that many students chose art and advanced art classes as their first choice, but we have the highest class densities and are not offered funding other classrooms receive.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Salinas's classroom raised $227

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

Why?

The purpose of this is to provide versatile adhesives (hot glue, gluesticks, etc) to my art students to use their creativity despite our limited resources and lack thereof budget.

Demographic Info

My classroom is small and services all grade levels in a very crowded room meant to house core subject originally. My population is 15-20% homeless and is a title 1 school and D rated campus. We do our best, but lost so much funding with my 160 students my budget is barely above $1000. My students come close to 90% emergent bilinguals and there is a mix of learning levels from sped, regular, gifted, and early college programs.

Expecting more students next year since we lost dance and choir and theater has a low enrollment interest.
