Mrs. Brinkmeier from Eldon IA is requesting materials related to food, clothing & hygiene through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Dr. Suess Celebration

Help me give my students a memory they will never forget. Every year our school host a Dr. Suess play, but not every child can afford to dress up. This will help those students feel included and confident!

My Project

Our school has students that come from struggling backgrounds, and we try to make learning a memorable experience. Each year the second grade classes put on a Dr. Suess performance. Some of the students are able to really play their role and dress up, yet there are always some that are not able to due to financial reasons. We are asking for costumes for each of the roles, in order to give any student that isn't able to dress up the opportunity to feel included by dressing up like their peers.
