More about what your donation will support:
Although we were able to raise about $1830.00 with our center spring photos, we still need to raise a bit more to cover expenses for transportation, lodging and meals for the trip. This incredibly valuable trip will allow  us to collaborate with educators from around the country and teach us new ways to incorporate Reggio Emilia in our classrooms in advance of the 2019/2020 school year, and allow us to incorporate our learning into our  professional development week.
