Backpack Blessings: Gathering Gear for Success!

Help me give my students supplies that are essential for learning! Students will use the one-inch binders to transport work to and from school. Whiteboard markers are essential for learning and our classroom supply is running low!

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

I have a wonderful class of 20 second-graders who are eager to learn! My students are blossoming readers, writers, mathematicians, scientists, and so much more! I am working hard to ensure they have the supplies they need to be successful.

Our classroom is running low on essential classroom supplies such as whiteboard markers, personal whiteboards, pencils, pencil sharpeners, and binders.

Ensuring students receive high-quality and working supplies guarantees success! We use these supplies every day in the classroom. Because of that, our supplies are getting torn up and becoming unusable.

Thank you for your support, we appreciate it so much!
