Technology has become an essential tool in today’s society. Thanks to your

Our Kinder classes each have Smart Boards, our 1st and 2nd Graders all have access to iPads, and our 3rd, 4th and 5th Graders all have their own Chromebooks while at school. These essential teaching tools wouldn’t be possible without your generous donations to

. Thank you for your continued support!!
