My Project

We are building an Early College program at Crispus Attucks High School. We have purchased amazing furniture for this space, including desks that double as dry erase boards. The classroom environment will be created to support college level work, all taught by local college professors!

These supplies will help us create a welcoming environment for students and will allow us to use our dry erase furniture to its fullest.

The dry erase board markers, erasers, and caddies will allow students to maximize this space for years to come! The wall coverings will allow us to cover unsightly blemishes and provide positive messages to students.
