O This will allow me to send out text blasts to remind parents of important school and class happenings as well as answer any questions quickly.
Help Our Classroom!O Over the summer I raise close to $400 to have 2
tablets donated to the classroom through this website. Also through friends and family I was able to raise another $300 for organization and reading materials
O I am now asking my students and their guardians to help raise money for classroom supplies and resources.
