5 DonorsChoose Projects to Help This February

By Xochitl Loza January 31, 2025

At Macaroni KID Modesto, we love celebrating and supporting our local teachers! Every month, we highlight five DonorsChoose projects from educators in our community who need a little extra help bringing resources to their students. Whether it's books, technology, classroom supplies, or hands-on learning materials, these teachers are making a difference—and you can, too!

Here are five Modesto teachers with DonorsChoose projects that need support this month:
