Here's What We've Been Up To!
It has been a bountiful Fall Season with lots of awarded grants and busy teachers fundraising through Donors Choose for their classrooms. Kudos to all of you working so hard for your students to get what you need in your environment. You have had a lot of extra work to do this fall playing COVID catch-up and filling in some big learning gaps, so to see this many grants awarded in addition to that hard work is standing ovation worthy!
Whatever you may celebrate, here's hoping your holidays are REALLY GREAT! Enjoy some well-earned time off :)
