My Project

I would like to give my students a special end of the year gift of a framed wallet sized photograph of one of our beloved classroom puppets. We have several special classroom helper puppets and they are important "members" of our classroom. At the end of the year, students can choose their favorite puppet and I put photos of that puppet in a frame. We need a set of wallet sized frames. I would also like to give students an end of the year certificate. We need certificates and certificate holders. We could also use another package of birthday stickers.

Your donation will provide my students with a special keepsake.
