My Project

We aim to acquire materials that will bring geography to life and celebrate global cultures. Imagine students engaging with maps, artifacts, and traditions from around the world!

We envision students exploring continents, learning about diverse customs, and developing a broader worldview.

Following, they will use these materials like a table, a world map and banners, to display and showcase the cultures they’ve learned about.

Help us ignite a passion for global awareness and empower our students to become informed and compassionate citizens celebrating the cultures around the world.

These materials will allow students to not only highlight their own cultures and traditions, but create an environment where we celebrate others who have paved the way before us.

Thank you for helping our students explore the world!
