Kicking Off Kindergarten

Help me give my students a welcoming classroom environment for their first year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Vermillion's classroom raised $874

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

All donations of classroom materials will support the achievement of low-income students and help me give them a positive experience in their first year of school!

I am requesting STEAM materials for engineering and design, toys for creative play and social-emotional learning, classroom organization materials, and rewards for positive behaviors.

My goal is to create a welcoming classroom environment that allows my Kindergarten students to succeed! I hope to foster a love of learning and I am excited to see my students' growth throughout this year. Thank you for your help!
