My Project

We are getting closer to the end of the school year. My students have been really working hard all year. Many of my students came in reading way below grade level. So many of them have made more than a year's worth of growth. I am truly proud of them all.

Help me provide end of year goody bags that include books to read and learn about climate changes.

This project will afford my students to continue learning during the summer months

I will truly miss them all. The bags that I am requesting are made of recyclable materials and are great for the environment as well a book on climate changes. The other items such as candies, bubbles and chips are my way of sending them off for the summer with some goodies for all their hard work throughout the year.
