My Project

Resources such as a corner canopy, books, and dry erase boards need to be replaced due to our classroom being vandalized over summer break.

These resources were used tremendously during our school year.

Unfortunately, lots of things were dumped because it was damaged by paint, glue or ripped apart during a vandalism that happened in our classroom.

Our goal is to get our classroom back to normal and to feel a sense of home as our students and families enter the classroom.

Please help support our PreK inclusion classroom and our students and families who we service daily in our community.
