Wish Delivered: Classroom Storage and Projectors
This Wishlist will purchase classroom storage and projectors for two classroom. A joint submission by co-teachers Debi Coons and Jennifer Paine says “I am writing on behalf of myself and my amazing team teacher, Jennifer. We are 4th grade teachers at the brand new Kootenai Classical Academy in Post Falls, ID. This new school is set to open for its inaugural year on September 5th, 2023. This new school is going to do great things for the Post Falls and surrounding communities. Although this school is brand new and as one would expect, beautiful, inside and out, it comes with a very, very strict budget and minimal storage; when I say minimal, I mean none. There are 2 cabinets in each of our classrooms and this is just not enough to hold our supplies that are essential for our kids being successful in their learning."
