My Project

Thanks to thoughtful donors, my scholars were equipped with everything they needed to be successful at the start of the school year. In this final leg of the race, we are low on basic supplies that we make use of on a daily basis. With the warmer months approaching, I am challenged to make learning even more engaging. This means more creative writing and multi-sensory tasks are included in our lessons. Please help me replenish our supply of pencils, markers, and crayons so that we can finish the year strong.
