Build a Bear, Build a Friend
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Romaniello's classroom raised $994
This project is fully funded
My Project
Kindergarten is the start of a child's educational career. They learn to read, write, and so many other things. It is a brave, big, new world. Having a furry friend to share it with will help grow their social and emotional Learning throughout the entire school year.
Do you remember being a child and having that special furry friend to share new things with?
This is what the bunnies, bears, and puppies in this project will provide for my kindergarten students.
Please help my precious kindergarten students receive these furry friends to help build on their SEL learning this school year.
