Kindergarten Basics

Help me give my students the very basics when it comes to kindergarten readiness.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rajski's classroom raised $565

My Project

When it comes to tiny humans, they need tiny things or things catering to their specific developmental stages.

Standard pencils and crayons won't cut it with how four to six year old hands are developed.

However, pencils and crayons that are more appropriate for kindergarten students are not readily available at a low cost for families that need them. Please donate these basics so my kindergarten families for the 2025/2026 school year don't have to stress about where to get thicker pencils and crayons within their budgets.

They are letting their babies go off into the world, and that alone is stressful enough.
