TPS Teachers know their students’ unique needs better than anyone. Through DonorsChoose, they can use that knowledge to help fund projects that bolster their vision for high-quality instruction in their classrooms. We are grateful for this partnership and for the caring donors helping our school communities become stronger, so that our 12,500 students can thrive.
