Support Mrs. Brus' classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
Our school is located in Tempe, Arizona, in an extremely high poverty area. We provide a quality education to diverse linguistic, cultural, and social backgrounds. My students are a wonderful bunch of hard workers and are so bright and intelligent five and six year olds; yet they must face and overcome adverse situations daily. High poverty levels are common in our school, which creates so many challenges for these young people that I can't even imagine. Despite all the hardships, they come to school ready learn, laugh, and get smart.
