My Project

Our school is dedicated to supporting our diverse student body, including English Language Learners and students preparing for the World Language Exam. This year, new testing changes were recently announced that will require students to have access to quality headphones and microphones for an optimal testing experience. These headphones are essential for listening comprehension tasks and supporting students taking the World Language Exam, which can help them place into higher-level Spanish classes for high school.

We seek your help to give our students the tools they need to succeed.

Your generous donation will directly support their growth, allowing them to feel confident and prepared during assessments and ultimately allowing them to thrive academically. Thank you for helping us provide our students with the resources they deserve for this school year and years to come!
