My Project

My young Nevadian students are mostly visual and kinesthetic learners. They come from low-income households that do not provide them with stable living conditions that many other students take for granted. My students deserve the best! They work diligently and are eager to learn.

For this reason, I would like to provide a warm and welcoming learning environment, that is academically stimulating, as well as provide proper tools for testing.

The proper testing tools will provide comfort to them. They will excel more and do well. The donations will warm their hearts!
