My Project

Our wonderful 5th Graders are going to be middle schoolers very soon! Every year, our school holds a "Moving On Ceremony" to celebrate their achievements in elementary school.

Our 5th grade team would like to give every 5th Grader one of their favorite books to take with them to middle school.

Moving up to Middle School is very nerve wracking for our students, and we would love to give them a reminder of all of the teachers who are rooting for their success.

These books will be a special gift to celebrate our students. We will be writing a personalized message in each book for our students as well. Thank you for your consideration and generous support!

Ms. Sherman Westover Hills Elementary School Grades 3-5

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.
