A Safe and Healthy Back to School!

Help me give my students access to facial tissues, disinfectant cleaner, paper towels, and hand soap. These items will help my classroom stay clean during the reopening of schools, and my students will stay safe and healthy.

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

I have an enthusiastic and joyful first grade ICT class. About half of the student population lives in temporary housing (homeless shelter or domestic violence shelter). The students and their families where taken by surprise by remote learning. Some students have access to iPads provided by the city's department of education. While other students share a device with 1-2 siblings or complete their work using a parent's cellphone. It has been a challenge, but nevertheless the students have tried their best in learning using Google classroom and engaging in remote learning activities.

My Project

My students come from low-income families. Often parents have difficulties donating cleaning materials to the classroom. I anticipate it will be an even bigger challenge for some families to contribute to our classroom because of the diverse consequences of COVID-19.

Cleaning materials will be essential for classrooms to be safe and for students to say healthy during this time.

Your donations will contribute to ensuring a safe learning environment for students as well as for the teachers that work with them. We thank you in advance for your important support.
