My Project

I’m hoping to create a memorable and welcoming first day of school for my students!

With your support, I’d love a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card to help me get engaging, age-appropriate resources for my classroom as well as instant film.

I’m also requesting photo frames and instant film so I can capture special first-day moments and send each child home with a keepsake photo. These items will help set a positive tone for the year and make every student feel valued and excited to learn. In addition, I will be able to capture precious memories throughout the year to remind them how special kindergarten is!
