My Project

Our school is a small, public, chartered school in Merrimack, NH. Like other charter schools in New Hampshire, we operate on very little funding and often seek donations from the community. Our mission is to engage students in their learning through arts-integration. By making academics more accessible to students with different learning styles alongside a strong focus on social-emotional learning, we hope to help our students become well-rounded humans who will go on to do great things and be leaders within the community.

We don't have enough desks for our 4th/5th grade math and science classroom.

Recently, we were given 15 desks from a local non-profit and are immensely grateful. The math and science classroom we will be using them in is shared between 4th and 5th grades, each having 20 students. We are currently seeking donations to purchase 5 desks to complete the set so that all students will have their own space to create and learn.

Any help is greatly, greatly appreciated by our staff, our families, and our amazing students.
