My Project

During my students' 3rd grade year, I do my best to help them grow in not only their academics but also in their character. At this age, students are learning how to build meaningful friendships and connections and this growth comes with growing pains. These items will aid in their character growth by offering structured fun activities that allow them to work through adversity, learn how to cooperate, and good sportsmanship. Also during times when we can go outside due to rain or temperature, it also offers other games besides the few games we do have or their computers.

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
