My Students

In a small town with a population of under 2,000, surrounded by seven glaciers, our public school of 211 pre-K through eighth-grade students is the hub of our local community. Our class supports a diversity of learners with many ethnic and social backgrounds. Over a third of our class receive Special Education or ELL Services and many qualify for free or reduced lunch. Due to COVID-19, all our instruction has been moved to online distance education. Your donations are needed now more than ever to help us ensure quality education is available to all students.

My Project

In these uncertain times of Covid-19, students need individual supplies that can be sent home to continue their vital STEM education.

Help us keep our students safe by providing individual packaging of math manipulatives and science lab equipment that they can use at home or in school.

Whether face-to-face or virtual learning, communal supplies are no longer safe or practical to use. Each student now needs their own whiteboard and washable containers to keep their science and math materials sanitary and organized. Thank you for helping ensure that every child has access to essential educational materials.
