My Project
Kindergarten is a year filled with awe and wonder. It’s a year of making friendships, memories, exploration, and learning with our hands and minds. This age group needs a lot of hands-on materials. The LEGOs and different types of sand will allow students to tell stories with objects. It also helps build friendships through sharing and teamwork to create projects together. Kindergarten is unique because students learn through experiences and exploration of objects. Please consider supporting this project to enrich our classroom environment. Many students in this community have very limited experiences. Thank you.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
