My Project

We still have about 5 weeks until school ends and the pencil sharpener is on its last leg with many pencils to be sharpened. We need to refurbish all of the basic supplies to continue the great work. We will continue to work until the last day, expanding the minds of these students as they are getting ready for 5th grade. There are still many assignments and projects to complete. It will also give our students the ability to finish this year strong and be proud of what they have accomplished.
