My Project

Our students are committed to being the best version of themselves! Sometimes they need some help regulating their emotions, as many of them come from difficult home lives. Having a calm down corner is necessary to their social and emotional well-being. We would also greatly benefit from a color printer, as we complete in the National History Day competition and need to print in color for our exhibits. Snacks are also greatly appreciated, some students might not have the ability to bring their own. Pencils are always needed in the classroom. Thank you for considering us!
