My Project

My students have worked so hard this year exploring the world around them and getting ready for kindergarten! Despite the challenges that they encountered these couple of years due to COVID-19, they persevered and accomplished a lot! I am very proud of them all! When I was thinking of graduation, I wanted to celebrate them by giving them a meaningful book that sends a message of dreaming big and believing in themselves. I would truly appreciate it if you could support me in celebrating all of their hard work this year! I also would like to have some books that are inspiring and encouraging to live lives to the fullest. I would like to empower these young children to do their best at any time!
