My Project

Dear generous donors, I’m reaching out to request your support in providing essential supplies for my classroom, with a focus on engineering and technology. Our students are eager to engage with hands-on projects, but we need some key resources to enhance their learning experience.

We’re in need of a comfortable rug for students to sit on with their laptops, a standing desk to better utilize our projector for collaborative work, durable headphones for focused learning, and cork boards to organize and hang those headphones.

Your donation will make a lasting impact on their educational journey and foster creativity and innovation in the classroom.

Thank you for your generosity!

Ms. Totaro Grover Cleveland Elementary School Grades 3-5
