My Project

New kindergarteners are so excited to start the year and come to school, but parents often can't afford to bring all the supplies we need to be successful in kindergarten.

Kindergarteners love to use a variety of colors when coloring and need pens to write on white boards.

These materials are used every day and we go through so many. Regular crayons break so easily, and I have found over the last 23 years of teaching these are much more durable and the kids love them. It would be so nice to have these to start the year so families don't have to worry about it and we can hit the ground running.
