My Project

My students are fun, creative, and love to build. Winter is long and we often get stuck inside. I would love to engage their little minds by using Magnet Building Tiles, Straw Constructor Toys, Legos, and other fun building toys.

By donating to our project, you will help increase their love for building, creating, and constructing.

They are also very passionate about animals, habitats, and animal rescue. I would love to nurture future doctors, veterinarians, teachers, engineers, researchers, leaders, and so much more.

Help them play, create, imagine, construct, and grow!

Ms. Nantroup Maconaquah Elementary School Grades PreK-2
