My Project
We started the Lego Club in our school 3 years ago. We have the largest number of club participants with it open to all students in the school. Our annual student membership is over 120 kids every school year. We have started and are working with donations and about 500 dollars worth of bricks. Some students are very detail oriented and some are beginners. We organize our bricks in large totes by color but we would like to be able to organize the smaller pieces as well. We would be so excited to have a few new bricks and base plates to build upon. This club is so important to kids because it fosters ingenuity, imagination, and creativity. Children learn without realizing they are learning. I feel proud to have started this club and LOVE to watch kids grow.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
