My Project

Dear donors,

Your support means the world to me and my students!

The pandemic brought many obstacles, but I've been blessed with an amazing group of 2nd graders who need extra care and love.

I want to create a structured and nurturing environment for them, with a beautiful seating circles rug and individual spots. The Owl Stars Incentive Pad and scented stickers will provide positive reinforcement, boosting their self-confidence and motivation.

Simple supplies like the Polka Dots Magnetic Labels and Dry Erase Pockets will empower them to stay organized and responsible.

Your contributions will make a lasting impact on these young minds, nurturing them into confident and independent thinkers. The three-tier rolling cart system will also help them take on responsibilities and build leadership skills.

Thank you for considering my class of upcoming 2nd graders. Your support is invaluable to us.

Ms. Kim Nunaka Valley Elementary School Grades PreK-2
