Essential School Supplies

Help me give my students school supplies to ensure that they are always prepared for class, even when they are not able to afford school supplies. This would guarentee that each student has a notebook.

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

Ever run into the problem of students not having their notebook or folder on them? Ever have a student ask for a pen or pencil when they don't have one of their own? These school supplies will ensure that students are always prepared for class, even when they are unable to afford school supplies for themselves. Students often request a notebook, folder, or something to write with, so this would allow me to address these students needs. Tissues and hand sanitizer are supplies that are requested a lot by my students. The mints would be given as a reward to students who show good behavior in class.
