Colorful Tools for Creative Summer Learning!

Help me give my students expo markers, dry erase markers, crayons and play dough.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sangiovanni's classroom raised $197

My Project

This summer, I want to create a vibrant, hands-on learning environment for my students! To keep young minds engaged, I am requesting Expo markers, dry erase markers, crayons, and Play-Dough. These simple yet essential supplies will allow my students to participate actively in lessons, practice writing and math on whiteboards, express their creativity through art, and strengthen their fine motor skills with Play-Dough activities.

Summer school provides a crucial opportunity for students to catch up, explore, and grow — and having the right supplies makes all the difference.

Many of my students come from low-income families and don't always have access to materials like these. Your support will help ensure that every student feels prepared, excited, and capable.

Materials Needed:

Expo dry erase markers (class packs, multiple colors)

Regular dry erase markers (for personal whiteboards)

Boxes of crayons (class packs)

Play-Dough sets (various colors)

How Your Support Helps:

With your generosity, students will have the tools they need to collaborate, create, and build confidence during summer school. Whether solving math problems on a whiteboard, illustrating a story, or strengthening their hand muscles with Play-Dough, your donation will help make summer learning joyful and meaningful!

Thank you for believing in my students!
