My Project

I'm so excited to be hosting a puzzle club for 3rd and 4th graders, where creativity and critical thinking come together. There will be a variety of engaging puzzles, brain teasers, and games designed to get the kids to think critically and work together.

Help me put together the pieces!

I am seeking donations to help cover the cost of supplies. Your generous contributions will allow us to purchase jigsaw puzzles, logic games, and snacks. Every donation, big or small, will make a difference in providing a fun and enriching environment for our students. Thank you for considering supporting our After School Puzzle Club. Together, we can inspire the next generation of thinkers and creators!
