Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Please help provide free time and indoor recess toys and learning games to build fine motor skills, memory, and social skills. When the weather keeps us inside, we need some options to engage in creative play. Magnetic building toys, puzzles and toy vehicles might just be the spark we need to renew interest in school after spring break and I hope you are able to help us with this purchase. Thank you in advance for your consideration. With your help my students will stay excited about school and end the last quarter strong! I know happy kids retain more information and demonstrate greater gains. Thanks for partnering with Gale educators and staff to raise the children of our village!

Sincerely,

Ms Kristin
