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

I hope this message finds you well. As a dedicated educator, my primary goal is to create a positive and engaging learning environment where every student feels inspired, valued, and ready to succeed. To make this happen, I am reaching out through DonorsChoose.org to invite you to be part of something special — the transformation of my classroom!

In order to foster creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking, I’m seeking donations for some essential supplies.

These include the following:

-Markers and Colored Pencils to bring students' ideas to life

-Desk Organizers to keep our workspace neat and efficient

-Notebooks, Pencils, and Erasers for everyday learning activities

-Classroom Decor to create an inspiring and welcoming atmosphere

Your generous contribution will directly impact my students by providing them with the tools they need to thrive in their education. Whether it’s allowing them to color and create, stay organized, or have a space that fosters creativity, every little bit helps.

In today’s classrooms, students need more than just textbooks—they need the right materials to explore their imagination, organize their work, and feel motivated every day. With your support, I can ensure that all my students have what they need to excel in their studies and grow as individuals.

Thank you so much for considering this opportunity to support my students’ educational journey. Your kindness and generosity will have a lasting impact on their learning experience. Together, we can help spark a love for learning that will last a lifetime!

Warmly,

Ms. Gutierrez
