Kindergarten Orientation Donation Request

We are seeking donations to help welcome our new kindergarten students with a special gift during orientation.

Our goal is to promote literacy and a love of learning while ensuring each child feels excited and prepared for their first day of school.

We are requesting donations for:

- A "The 12 Days of Kindergarten" book – to encourage early reading and excitement about starting school.

- A writing board – to help students begin practicing their writing skills in a fun, engaging way.

- A tote bag or backpack – to carry their new learning materials and use as needed for school.

These items will create a warm and welcoming experience, setting the foundation for a positive start to their educational journey. Thank you for your support in making this a memorable and meaningful experience for our newest learners!
