My Project

Our school is currently building a resource closet for our students with differing abilities. We are looking to expand so that students have access to grade level and below grade level manipulative for ELA and math and have an outlet for their social emotional needs.

We are excited to prepare with more resources that meet students where they are.

This opportunity can allow for students to grasp material in a new, fresh way. This opportunity also gives our students exactly what they need because they deserve it. Please join us in our endeavor.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
