• Let's Read a Book On a Nook!

  Funded Sep 18, 2016

  Thanks once again to the amazing estate of Dorothea Lutz for funding our project for our Nook. We will now have enough working Nooks for our listening center.

• Writing Stories in First Grade!

  Funded Sep 18, 2016

  Thanks so very much to the estate of Dorothea Lutz for funding half of this project today. My students were thrilled that once again we can copy our stories about how to behave in school. We have already written about how to behave in line. Next we will be writing and printing our stories about how to sit at the carpet and how to sit in the lunchroom.

  The ink and paper have been a huge help in getting this project completed. The ink supplies were depleted earlier in the week. We are thrilled to have ink once again. Thank you very much!”

  Thank you so much for the wonderful donation that you gave to my first graders. Thanks to you, they now have enough ink and paper to print their reading stories and activity sheets.
