My Project

Help us celebrate our fantastic 4th-grade year! Calming care, warmth and snacks are vital parts to a successful school year. Calming strips, fidgets, marbles mazes, gloves, snacks, and some basic school supplies will help us be the healthy learners that we strive to be.

As we begin 2024, I want my students to know that they are appreciated and valued.

These items will support my students academically and with their mental health so we can begin the year in a positive and grateful way. Thank you for considering our DonorsChoose project and for supporting our 4th grade classroom!
