My Project

We are hoping to fill our fully self-contained class with awesome resources to help our students learn and flourish! The students in this classroom are anmazing and deserve a warm and welcoming environment to learn in. Please help me give my students the chance to grow and thrive in our fully self-contained classroom. We need bean bag chairs, a saucer chair with ottoman and a working rug.

If these resources were provided, the students would have the opportunity to thrive.

Each student has different needs but they all work hard to meet their goals, and would really appreciate having quality materials to help them learn. With your help we could provide a meaningful experiences for the students to succeed in the classroom!
