My Project

As the school year wraps up, we’re aiming to finish strong and prepare for a brighter beginning next year. Our classroom needs vital organization tools, new art materials, and fresh air—literally! Your support will help students close the year with pride and excitement while setting up a cleaner, more vibrant learning space for the fall.

What We Need:

A file cabinet to help safely pack and organize years of curriculum, student work, and materials.

A classroom rug to replace our worn one and create a cozy, clean gathering space for lessons and morning meetings.

An air purifier to improve the air quality in our older classroom building—many students suffer from allergies.

New art supplies (markers, crayons, watercolors) to replenish what’s been well-loved and well-used all year.

End-of-year “Eagle Store” rewards so students can celebrate their hard work by spending the Eagle Bucks they’ve earned all year long.

The end of the school year is a time for both reflection and preparation. With your help, students will experience the joy of seeing their hard work pay off while also contributing to a fresh and inspiring space for next year. The air purifier will provide a safer, healthier classroom, especially for students with allergies, and new art materials and a rug will reignite our creative and collaborative spirit when the new year begins.

Let’s Pack with Purpose and Prep for Possibilities!

Your donation will help us close out the year with pride, celebrate student success, and get a head start on a cleaner, more organized, and allergy-friendly environment for next year’s scholars.
