  • Reading for All

    Funded May 11, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom. My students and I appreciate it more than you know. This project gave me an opportunity to spruce up our current library to make it more engaging and inviting for students. We didn't set up the text as we are going to wait till the next school year in September, but students have those into the books and love them! Pete, the cat is one of my students favorites, so they have especially enjoyed the Pete the cat books. I look forward to seeing them read in their new reading corner, our new tent!”

  • Dramatic Play Center to Teach & Promote Child Development!

    Funded Mar 1, 2022

Kindergarten is a crucial time to help students explore their curiosity and promote growth and our play center has allowed students to do just that!”
