Think Ink

My students need black and color ink for our printer.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ruz's classroom raised $414

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 Students

Our class printer has run out of ink and we haven't been able to print for a while. Will you please help us print again?

I teach 25 enthusiastic third graders.

My students live in a high poverty neighborhood where they lack many resources. Our school is usually the only place where they can have access to technological materials. Whenever my students are able to use any form of technology, they are inspired to work and their enthusiasm to learn increases.

My Project

If my students were to have ink for our classroom printer, they would be able to print their word documents, print graphics and images for projects, and print PowerPoint notes for their research projects. We currently have to save our work because we ran out of ink.

We truly need ink, and we hope that you will be able to help us out.

Thank you so much for your generous donation and for caring about our lives. We can't wait to proudly print and display our work!
