My Project

Our students are bright, curious, and eager to learn despite the many challenges they face. As a Title I school in Denver, Colorado, many of our children come from underserved communities and need extra support to build strong foundations in reading and math. Unfortunately, our school is currently in jeopardy of closing due to low reading assessment scores. The phonics and number sense games we’re requesting will provide engaging, multi-sensory experiences that help students grasp essential concepts more easily by involving sight, sound, and hands-on activities. These resources will make learning fun, build confidence, and support every child’s unique learning style. By giving students these tools, we help close the opportunity gap and set them on a path toward long-term academic success. We believe deeply in their potential—and with your generous support, they will thrive and help save our school.
