My Project

Being a public montessori school offers unique and creative opportunities for our learners. Our youngest scholars are just beginning to learn to read and write. They love to sort and match and work on their letter sounds in a hands-on manner.

Some reading skills tools and some writing supplies will make for some fun ways for students to practice their reading and alphabet skills and be creative.

We are a Title 1 school serving an underserved area in West Tulsa. Our students are hard-working and creative. The paper and supplies will let them express themselves while they learn and grow.
