"I teach Kindergarten in a low socio-economic area. The majority of our students are free lunch and/or live with grandparents and cannot afford supplies.

We have received no money to spend in our classrooms for the last three years. Without donors like you our classroom would only contain the bare minimum or broken and used items.

I want the kitchen set to add to our Pretend Center to foster the growth of the children in the areas of social and emotional development.

I will really appreciate the generosity of any donor that chooses to support my project. You are deeply touching the lives of 21 children by helping fund my project.

My students need a table and chair set and food and cleaning supplies to foster social and emotional development.

Mrs. B. sent this note after the project was fully funded:

Dec 8, 2009
Dear David, Molly, Lori, Mark & Carole, charmaine, Jessica and Kristen, 



I want to thank each of you for making this project come to fruition. I am so excited that we will be getting our items for the Pretend Center. It is going to be a very Merry Christmas.
The children are so happy. If you could "hear" them, they would be screaming with joy.
The Pretend Center is a very important part of learning and socializing. You have set the mood for our classroom to be a creative place to learn.
Thank you again, we really appreciate it.

With gratitude,
Mrs. B.

Photos coming soon!
