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

Be the one to make a difference in the lives of those in need.

My class is a diverse class that comes from all different socioeconomic backgrounds.

My students love to learn and strive to be in class every day. Our school is a Title 1 school which means many of our kids are living below poverty level. Most students receive free lunch and are very limited with school supplies.

My Project

Due to budget cuts in the classroom, we are in need! I am asking for two commercial pencil sharpeners. As you might already know, pencil sharpeners are a daily necessity in the classroom. We have the old fashion "turn the handle" model which tends to eat up our pencils. My second graders are all learning to become great writers but without the necessary tools, the kids cannot perform. Help make a difference in a child's life!

Once again, with the help of your donation, we would love to have two commercial pencil sharpeners.

This request is well needed to help with the daily flow of our classroom procedures. Writing is constant within our classroom and without sharpened pencils, this would not occur. Please consider donating to our cause. Thank You!
