My Project

Your generous donation will help provide new, engaging books for my deaf and hard-of-hearing students. These books are not just for reading; they are tools that can significantly enhance their learning experience and personal growth. By donating, you will help improve their literacy skills, support their learning of American Sign Language, and provide stories that reflect their experiences and culture. These books will also offer numerous educational benefits, such as vocabulary expansion, critical thinking, and cognitive development while fostering emotional and social growth. Your support will open doors to a world of knowledge and opportunities for my students. Thank you for considering a donation to our classroom!
