My Project

Our students are magical in every sort of way and bring warmth to our hearts as teachers! Now we want to return that feeling to them for the holidays. Please help us purchase these warm winter hats, toys, and art supplies to help give them a special holiday. Many of our families experience financial hardships and can’t prioritize to make the holidays as special as they would like to. Help us give our wonderful students holiday presents to make this time a little more magical! We know they will love it, and so will we!
