Sending a tremendous THANK YOU to the Allstate Foundation for fully funding my DonorsChoose project focused on fighting hunger. I’m incredibly excited for my honor society students to have the opportunity to give back by creating food bags for those in need and launching our very own school food pantry. This would not be possible without your generous support. Several of our families are facing tough times due to homelessness, job loss, & more, and this project will make a meaningful difference in their lives.
We’re also writing letters to local grocery stores in hopes of sustaining our pantry long-term so we can continue serving our community. Your support has sparked a movement of compassion and action among my students, and for that, we are truly grateful.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Ruffner

Welcome to our pre-k! Our school is family oriented and has been deemed a “Community School”. I am dedicated to my “little loves” and I have no shame in begging for tools to support them! But we are grateful for donors like you who prevent us from having to beg.
My learners are amazing little people with big dreams! Most of them come from low income families, but that does not deter them from hard work. They yearn for an interactive and stimulating environment to be themselves , create and explore. With your help we can make that happen! Pick a project, any project!, I guarantee it will go into the hands of a student who will truly treasure it in their learning experience.
Thank you for your consideration!
