My Project

Help bring excitement and learning to our 2nd and 3rd Grade Self-Contained classroom with engaging sports-themed books, healthy snacks, and a binding machine! The sports books will motivate even the most reluctant readers, sparking their interest through relatable stories of teamwork and perseverance. Snacks will keep our young learners energized and focused throughout the day.

With a binding machine, students can create their own stories, publish class books, and compile writing projects, fostering creativity and confidence!

Your support will inspire a love of reading, writing, and learning that will last a lifetime!
