Donor’s Choose Project from 3rd Grade Teacher, Ms. Baldwin
Ms. Baldwin wants to ensure her students have precisely what they need to succeed, so she created a project through DonorsChoose, the nonprofit classroom funding site for public school teachers.
Right now, any contribution you make to her project will be doubled by the Chesmar Foundation. This is a fantastic opportunity for our students! Your donation will brighten her students' school year. Link to Project: Classroom Basics for a 3rd Grade Oasis
