My Project

My students have grown so much that I want to finish the year strong and exciting. We have worked hard all year and are in our final 9 weeks of school. With your donation, we are able to have a water day and give them the essentials to maintain skills over the summer and for the next school year such as stepping stones, a bubble machine, and laminating sheets. The items needed with encourage gross motor development, early literacy skills, and social-emotional growth. Our outside play space needs some love and adding some new toys that encourage sensory play is a huge help!
