Your donation allows me to rest a bit easier, knowing many of the basics will be covered for my students. Your donations set my students up for success, as well.\r\n I deeply appreciate each of your donations and the continued support many of you have given to my classrooms throughout the years.

The new cantilever chairs allow kids who usually want to rock back on two chair legs to rock back and forth without the threat of toppling. \r\n\r\n I am so grateful for all of the support.

They immediately started creating in the Tuff Tray, building new structures, and inventing stories together.
