Feathers & Futures: Building a Better Chicken Coop!

Help me give my students a chicken coup for the chickens that hatched.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Gumm's classroom raised $217

My Project

We're chirping with excitement in our kindergarten class because we have some egg-citing news to share with you! We're hoping to bring some feathered friends into our classroom, but we need your help to make it happen.

You see, we've been learning all about chickens and how amazing they are.

Did you know that chickens can lay eggs and provide us with yummy breakfast? They're also super cute and fluffy, and we think they'd make excellent classmates.

But to welcome these cluck-tastic companions into our class, we need a special place for them to live. That's where you come in! We're hoping to raise funds to build a cozy chicken coop right here in our classroom.

Having a chicken coop would not only be a fun and educational experience for us, but it would also teach us important lessons about responsibility, compassion, and teamwork. We would learn how to care for our feathery friends and watch them grow and thrive right before our eyes.

Imagine the joy on our faces as we gather around the coop each day to feed the chickens, collect eggs, and learn all about their life cycle. With your support, we can turn this dream into a reality and create unforgettable memories together.

So please, consider donating to our chicken coop fund. Every little bit helps, and together, we can make our kindergarten classroom a clucking good place to learn and grow.

Thank you for your generosity and for helping us spread our wings!

Feathered hugs and high-fives,

Mr. Gumm Makaha Elementary School Grades PreK-2
