My Project

Finding quality teaching candidates has been an issue during the teacher shortage. Our team was lucky enough to find new teachers for this year and our upcoming 24-25 school year. As we end out this year we want to give them the materials needed to strive and thrive in their classrooms.

Money is no longer given to teachers to buy classroom supplies; it is on us to provide our students with what they need to be successful.

To help ease the burden and transition into the classroom we have looked and asked, "How can we fill in the gaps." The addition of the Futsal Captain's bands are for a Futsal program we are creating for free for our students after school. It is free to the students and is monitored for free by the teachers in our building.

We are beyond grateful for any and all help you can provide and especially for the time you took out to consider this project.
