My Project

Help us make a difference in an amazing 5th grade classroom by donating toward a cozy rug and new supplies! These essential additions will not only create a more organized and welcoming learning environment but also support a passionate teacher who goes above and beyond for their students every single day. A soft, inviting rug will provide students with a comfortable area for reading, group work, and classroom discussions. Together, these upgrades will help transform the classroom into a warm, inspiring space where learning can truly thrive. Every contribution—big or small—gets us closer to making this classroom even more special. Thank you for supporting our students and the amazing educator who helps them grow!
