My Project

My children have a high interest in learning. Students come from high-poverty neighborhoods, which results in a large percentage of free or reduced-price lunch recipients. My children are beginning to learn how to become lifelong learners. My students would love to plant seeds and learn about the Earth.

We need materials to plant seeds, learn about the Earth, and learn about recycling to help save the Earth.

My students would love to learn about the Earth through the new books. They would love to plant seeds. My students would also love to have materials to learn about recycling.

Mrs. Chiesa Lowell P Goodrich Elementary School Grades PreK-2

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
