My Project

Our students are at the halfway mark of their academic year. They have worked so hard to get through a challenging year! Because we are still in the middle of a pandemic, our kids are still getting sick from time to time. Therefore, we are striving to have as many supplies as possible so we all can remain safe! It is so important that we are able to continue our learning safely and soundly with everything we need to remain on top of our academic gain. We are almost there!
