My Project

My 6th graders are eager to create and explore. It’s that time of year where our markers are dried up and no one can find a black colored pencil.

Help restock our art supplies in class so that our historical and cultural art work can shine.

Our independent reading block allows students to experience new worlds and discover characters they can relate to or empathize with. Help peak new interests in reading with new graphic novels and additional titles from favorite authors. The graphic novels fly off the shelves and new titles will be a hit!
