DonorsChoose.org Projects

News Posted by ctaylor on Sep 09, 2018 in General News

DonorsChoose.org is an amazing website that lets teachers post about necessary projects for people to help fund. Currently, we have four teachers who have projects posted and would love your support. If you go to www.donorschoose.org, enter Briarmeadow, and you can see all four: Mrs. Lam, Ms. Pacheco, Ms. Pham, and Ms. Harris. You can donate any amount. And trust me, it all helps.

Many thanks!
