My Project

My students are children with special needs and require more help when it comes to math and reading. They are in the fourth grade but at lower levels when it comes to these subjects. We don't have enough things to be successful. So please help us to be successful in math and reading by helping to fund lamination, play-doh, and dry-erase supplies.

We would love for our students to be great and able to handle the next grade and be very successful.
