My Project

We have a fun and exciting opportunity to engage our kindergarten students with a special reading of The Gingerbread Man, and we’d love for you to be part of it! In addition to providing each of our students with their very own copy of this delightful story to take home, we’re planning a special classroom event where a guest reader will bring the book to life. To make the experience even more memorable, we’re hoping to buy a fun Gingerbread Boy costume for the reader to wear during the session. A costume will add a touch of magic and excitement, making the story even more engaging for the kids!

Access to books at home plays a critical role in developing reading skills and fostering a lifelong love of learning.

By sending each child home with a copy of The Gingerbread Man, we’re helping them develop stronger reading habits, improve vocabulary, and enjoy the shared experience of reading with family. Adding a playful element like a costume will create lasting memories and bring even more energy to the day.
