My Project

As we prepare to spring into spring, our amazing Math students are tackling new Math concepts and skills. Our 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Grade Math students work up quite an appetite as they calculate and problem-solve throughtout the morning.

Help Us SPRING into Math: Fractions, Percents, & Pre-algebra!

Your generous donation will provide four grade levels of mathematicians with crunchy, healthy snacks as they dig into their spring semester of Math learning. With the warmer spring weather, our students are running around at recess and working up quite an appetite. Your snack donation will go a long way towards providing many students with a satisfying crunch as they settle in for an afternoon of crunching numbers!
