Recovering from a Shooting in Our Community Part 3

My Project

Our community was devastated by a shooting. I created a DonorsChoose project to help get my students SEL materials to help recover and was overwhelmed by the support I received from DonorsChoose donors over the past few weeks. This is the third part of the project, designed to truly help our classroom get back on its feet. Materials include some phonics materials, some classroom furniture, and some SEL tools. I am so grateful to everyone who has donated, I cannot explain what it means to us. Thank you again.
