My Students

Have you rode the train to the North Pole, visited with Santa,and played with the elves? This is a great experience that we can give our students, with your help they can relive this experience often by rereading their very own book.

Our young students all come from economically disadvantaged homes, some of them have very special needs.

We are a public school listed as a low-income school. We work very hard to give our young students life experiences to remember. By giving these children these experiences we hope to encourage them and their parents to continue their education.

My Project

By traveling by train, visiting with Santa and playing with the elves, we hope to increase the fine and gross motor skills, build student vocabulary and give them an experience to remember. By placing a new book in the hands of these children, we are giving them a chance to relive this experience with their parents.

With your help, we can make a difference in the lives of these young children and their families.

By given a book to each child,we hope to encourage these families to spend some time together. Please consider helping us with this great project.
