My Project

Our 8th grade Exceptional Children (EC) students are hardworking, creative, and capable learners who deserve a classroom filled with the tools they need to succeed. Many of our students benefit from hands-on materials, organizational supports, engaging learning activities, and a welcoming classroom environment that helps them feel confident and included.

Every item donated will make a meaningful difference by helping our students stay organized, participate actively, build independence, and experience success in the classroom.

Thank you for helping us create a classroom where every student feels supported, capable, and ready to learn!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
