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

Help Bring Joy and Smiles to My First Grade Classroom in the Bronx.

I’m reaching out with a heartfelt request to help bring joy, love, and support to my first-grade classroom in the Bronx, where I have the honor of teaching an incredible group of students.

These children, many of whom come from underserved communities and diverse backgrounds, are filled with potential, kindness, and an eagerness to learn.

In my classroom, I have over 30 students, including children with IEPs and English as a New Language (ENL) students. Despite the many challenges they face, they consistently show resilience, compassion, and determination. They work hard every day to overcome obstacles and make progress. They truly deserve to feel celebrated and supported for their efforts.

However, the resources available to us are limited, and my students often lack the materials, supplies, and opportunities that can help them thrive. My goal is to create a classroom environment where every child feels valued, loved, and safe—where they can smile, laugh, and experience the joy that comes with learning.

With your generous support, I hope to provide a space where these beautiful, hardworking children can feel seen, appreciated, and inspired. From classroom supplies to enrichment activities, your contribution would go directly toward creating a nurturing environment where my students can flourish and feel the warmth and care they deserve.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a tangible impact on my students’ lives. Together, we can ensure that they experience the joy and encouragement they need to continue growing and succeeding in school and beyond.

Thank you so much for considering this opportunity to bring smiles and hope to my classroom. Your kindness and generosity would make a world of difference for these deserving young learners.
