My Project

In this season of giving, I'd love you to consider these worthy causes that will directly impact daily, student success. Daily math fluency practice is essential to build the foundation for students to thrive in the STEM driven society we live in, and the TPT gift cards will directly fund materials to implement this program.

Our school is newly fielding basketball teams in the elementary space, and the basketballs will allow students to be well-supplied with what they need for the new season which starts promptly with the new year.

Theatre Thursdays are when students take our morning meeting time to act out, and narrate a play, and then analyze the theme and characters. Our school does not offer drama class, so these materials are particularly helpful to provide an equitable education to our bright, Detroit students.

Thank you for considering partnering with our school to support our students.
