My Project

Items in the cart will enhance students' classroom experiences!

1.

Lights create a calming effect, and chair supports keep the classroom quiet and clean.

2. Desk bikes keep active students on task in class while seated for math, reading, and writing lessons. Classroom prizes keep our classroom store stocked and ready for business. Students earn the opportunity to visit the classroom store based on good class participation and behavior.

3. Paper ensures that homework can be printed and distributed to students in a timely manner.

Your donations will bring smiles to students!
