My Project

I admire how creative my kindergarteners are, so help me be able to provide art materials to support them!

As a kindergarten teacher, I strive to create a hands-on, creative learning environment where my students can explore, express themselves, and develop critical fine motor and thinking skills.

Art supplies like craft paper, crayons, whiteboard markers, Kwik Stix, and paint daubers are essential tools that support their growth, but they quickly run out with frequent use. Unfortunately, classroom budgets don’t always cover the cost of replenishing these items.

By donating supplies, you directly support young learners in developing their creativity and confidence. Your generosity helps provide meaningful, engaging activities that make learning fun and accessible for every child in my classroom.
