Help Our Amazing Preschool Stars!

Help me give my students a safe and welcoming place to learn by providing sensory items and books in spanish, so that we can fully serve all of the children under our care.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rachel's classroom raised $403

My Project

Our class of 3-5 year olds is so creative, affectionate, and fun! They love animals, dinosaurs, and music!

We have several students who are learning English, and several with extra sensory needs or disabilities.

They need extra support to be able to participate in our fun classroom activities. Any donations will go to help us give these precious kiddos the best possible learning environment. We are a Head Start program, which helps at-risk families in our community. Any amount you can give is much appreciated, no matter how small!

Thank you so much!

Ms. Rachel Ratchford Head Start Grades PreK-2
