My Project

Please help provide the students and staff at my school the opportunity to gather and work in a clean and inviting space that will be located in our school's main lobby.

If this project is fully funded, the furniture and rug in this space will create a clean, fresh, and fun place for students to work on math and reading centers with classroom buddies, read books and practice sight words with volunteer readers in our community, be a space for parents and students to sit and wait to meet with teachers for conferences, and have a warm and welcoming space greet them each day as they enter the school.
