My Project

Our students love collaborating, and we're excited to start meaningful activities with our buddy class. However, we need essential supplies-like craft materials and STEM resources to create hands-on learning experiences that inspire teamwork and creativity. With these tools, students will build social skills, problem solving abilities, and friendships across grades.

Your support will help us provide engaging, interactive learning opportunities.

Together we can spark joy and curiosity, making school a place where every child feels connected and excited to learn. Thank you for helping us bring these activities to life!
