Voices in Bloom: Growing Strong Communicators

Help me give my students speech resources (i.e. toys, games, supplies), so they can become confident communicators.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shannyn, Ms. Karter, Ms. Alyssa, & Ms. Melanie's classroom raised $499

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project aims to gather essential materials and tools that will support our students' speech and language development in fun and engaging ways. We will be using toys and games to target our students’ speech and language goals, as well as the tissues / wipes during the cold and flu season. Your support can help us create a more dynamic and supportive learning environment where every child can build their intrinsic motivation and BLOOM.

Together, we can provide the best possible learning experiences for our children.

Thank you for your generosity and partnership. We look forward to an incredible year of learning, growth, and success.

You are making a difference! Love the Speech Team
