Bright Beginnings: A Colorful Start for Kindergarten

Help me give my students a bright start to the new school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gambone's classroom raised $586

This project is fully funded

My Project

My kindergarten classroom is a place where young minds begin their educational journey, and I want to create an environment that is bright, welcoming, and inspiring. I’m requesting support to refresh our classroom with cheerful decorations and essential general supplies that help our days run smoothly. From colorful bulletin board sets and educational posters to basic items like markers, pencils, and paper, these materials will help transform our space into a fun, organized, and engaging place to learn and grow. With your help, we can set the stage for creativity, curiosity, and confidence in our youngest learners!
