My Project

Dear Donors,

I’m a third-year Kindergarten teacher at a Title 1 school serving students in grades K–5.

Before teaching Kindergarten, I spent three years in our preschool program. During that time, I was lucky to have access to a color printer and ink provided through separate funding—something I quickly realized made a huge difference in early learning.

Now in Kindergarten, we no longer have those resources. We only have access to one shared black-and-white copier for the entire school. This often leads to long wait times, which makes it tough when I’m just a few copies short or need something quickly for a student who made a mistake. As teachers know, no matter how well we plan ahead, unexpected needs come up every day.

Because I believe so strongly in the power of engaging materials, I’ve been printing in color from home using a small personal printer, paying for ink out of pocket. But as much as I love creating colorful hands-on games and activities, it's not sustainable long term.

Color printing brings our classroom to life. It helps students focus, builds excitement, and makes new skills more approachable. Your support would give my students access to the kind of vibrant, engaging materials that make learning more fun and effective, right when they need it most.

Thank you so much for considering a gift to our classroom. It truly means the world.
