My Students

What's a school year without the proper supplies?? I remember the beginning of the year being so joyous! What was more fun than bringing all of your new supplies to school?

My 30 first graders are a bubbly, engaged group of students.

They attend an intercity charter school that is in it's second year of existence. Our school, like many others, does not have the funds to supply us with everything we need to be successful.

My Project

These centers for math, English, science, and social studies will bring the students in with smiles on their faces and questions in their minds. The clothesline and work frames will allow the students to display their hard work to not only their peers, but the school and their families!

Without your donation I would not be able to supply my students with these wonderful items!

I am amazed each day by the generosity of donors on donors choose and hope that you will consider helping my students succeed!
