Help me give my students a chance to strengthen their literacy skills with pencils that support their writing, creativity, and confidence every day.

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 Project
In our special education classroom, writing is more than putting words on paper—it’s a powerful tool for building literacy and confidence. Many of my students struggle with fine motor skills, and having enough quality pencils ensures they can focus on learning instead of worrying about broken tips or missing supplies.
With your support, we can stock our classroom with plenty of pencils so every child has the tools they need to practice writing, spelling, and reading fluency.
These simple supplies will help my students develop the foundational literacy skills that open doors to their future.
Your kindness helps create a space where all learners, regardless of their challenges, can thrive and grow as writers and readers.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
