My Project

As a Title 1 Pre-K classroom, we strive to provide our young learners with a strong foundation for lifelong learning, despite limited resources. Many of our students come from low-income families and rely on our classroom for not just education, but also a safe, nurturing environment filled with opportunities to explore, create, and grow.

We are kindly asking for school supplies, learning materials, and classroom essentials to help us create the best possible experience for our students.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our little learners. Thank you for supporting our classroom!

Ms. Lewis Morrell Park Elementary Middle School 220 Grades PreK-2
