My Project

The beginning of the school year is full of joy and excitement for some, and anxiety for others. Help us bring JOY to more of our students by helping alleviate the stress of material procurement by donating to this project.

A primary focus of our school is building a strong community through restorative practices.

For our freshman students coming in, building trust and community starts with making sure they have the materials they need to be successful and comfortable in the classroom. Please help us to create a supportive and welcoming environment for our new students!
