"I cherish my opportunity to teach Kindergarten. My students are a JOY to work with and I am always wanting to find ways to make their learning more enjoyable.

My students come from various backgrounds with multiple obstacles to overcome. Dramatic play is their time to escape, be social, and dream of their future.

My students need to have materials to capture their vision of a bright future. They love having costumes or props to aid in their make-believe moments as they dream about what they will be when they grow up.

Your support in helping my students make magical moments in my classroom will give them the hope to make it through the hard days at home.

My students need career dress-up clothing and ethnically diverse dolls.

Dear Trisha, 

I cannot thank you enough for your generosity. My kindergartners will be thrilled! I am excited to give my current students and future students the opportunity to learn through dramatic play. Through your donations, you have made this possible. These supplies will last for many years; therefore, MANY students will enjoy the benefits. Students will be able to dream of their future and role-play their ideas with fabulous props. I look forward to seeing my students grow through practicing their social skills with these costumes. Let the make believe magic begin!

With gratitude,
Mrs. B.

Photos coming soon!
