My Project

Students and classrooms are still feeling the effects that the pandemic created for our educational system. Children are still learning how to be students, how to learn, and especially - how to work together!

Synergy - Teamwork - Collaboration!

As adults, we know how essential these skills are. Unfortunately, our students are still overcoming obstacles many to working together. Whether that be confidence, foundational knowledge, or trust, our students need activities to foster growth.

In our class we have emerging leaders, scholars, and bucket fillers. The requested items will help us grow together and succeed.
