My Students

Living in an extremely rural area, our students are very family-oriented. Many of our students have parents who are farmers or coal miners. Although families are involved in the education of our students, most students lack financial support. In fact, our entire school district qualified for the free lunch program this school year.

Our students are the future of our country.

Help us teach them modern technology skills to lead the way for the future. With your donations, we can help them reach goals that might otherwise be unattainable.

My Project

My students love expressing their creative side! We have a small, Cricut Joy in our classroom, which the students love using. With the size of the Cricut Joy, we are limited on what kind of projects we can complete. We would love to add a Cricut Maker to our classroom to create larger designs. With your help, our students can design graphics and print or engrave them with the Cricut Maker machine.

Creativity is encouraged in my classroom and helps the students express their individuality.

We would appreciate any support!
