Kindergarteners Need Gluten-Free Play Dough!

Help me give my students gluten-free play dough, Kn94 face masks, and hand soap.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Melissa's classroom raised $175

This project is fully funded

My Project

My kindergarten students absolutely adore our play dough center. A new student recently transferred into our class. He has celiac disease and cannot use traditional play dough since it contains gluten. We would love to re-open our play dough center with two tubs of Aroma Dough gluten-free dough! I know that my students will be thrilled to be able to go to this center again with their gluten-free classmate! We are going to go on two upcoming trips that will require all students to wear face masks. I would love to have more KN94 masks on hand in case students do not come to school wearing masks on those trip days. I could also use Mrs. Meyer's geranium hand soap refills for the staff bathroom.

Your donation will enable my students to have a fantastic time at our play dough center!
