My Project

Now that we have the first half of the school year behind us, we're ready for some new items to make the second half full of success, fun and learning! Students are ready to take the foundational skills and move on to the next level! These items will help our classroom continue to promote literacy, math, kindness, and an overall love of learning! Many of our students come from less fortunate homes and school is their safe environment that they depend on to grow as learners and as good citizens. Having access to new materials will continue to help motivate students to come to school every day and enjoy their education.
