Support Local Classrooms: April’s DonorsChoose Spotlight

By Xochitl Loza March 31, 2025

Spring is here, and what better way to celebrate than by giving back to our incredible local teachers? Each month, Macaroni KID Modesto highlights five DonorsChoose projects from educators in our community who are working hard to make learning fun, engaging, and impactful for their students. These teachers have shared their classroom needs, and with your help, we can make their projects a reality!
