My Project

Hello

I work in a Title 1 school.

Our school has many diverse learners. In my class alone, we have students who speak 13 different languages. Many come to school hungry, so we need some quick snacks to nourish them throughout the day.

My students also need books and resources in their language that can be explained easily to their parents. These books will help them support our learning objectives aligned with state standards.

Please consider supporting our Title 1 school and specifically my class of amazing 5 and 6-year-old eager learners.

Thank you so much for your support!

Mrs. Mersch Madison Rose Lane Elementary School Grades PreK-2
