My Project

I'm so excited for my students and their overall success in reading this year. At the beginning of the school year, we had only 45% of our students performing on or above grade level in reading. However, with the hardwork and perseverance of our students and with the support of parents at home, by the middle of year we have 62% of our students performing on or above grade level in reading. Our students are working hard to meet our end of year reading goals. Your generous donations will gift our students with continuous hands-on learning opportunities as they step up to first grade. Students will enjoy the K-2 Summer Bridge workbooks to further enhance and retain their learning. Students will also enjoy the playdough that they can use as educational manipulatives or for pure fun! Students will also feel extra special when receiving gifts in these beautiful gift bags.
