My Project

My students are a special group of children who truly love learning and doing! We are a community who help each other, are kind, and always try our best! Kindly help to enhance their reading and concentration skills this year. They will be going on to 1st grade in a few months and are ALMOST ready to go!

A new carpet would give children another place to sit when reading or doing a quiet activity.

Thank you for your contributions and attention to our classroom! We appreciate you and your kindness!
