Through your donation, this year we were able to supply 8th grade students with graphing calculators for these high-stakes tests.\r\nAgain, thank you for your support. Your donation supplied our students with a resource that we were unable to provide. Your generosity is helping create opportunities for student success both in the classroom on a daily basis as well as during important assessments.
