My Project

We are starting a new school year and I want to make sure my preschoolers have what they need to start off their first school experience! I am requesting some classroom basics like pencils, pens, dry erase markers, tape, disinfecting spray and more! I want my students to have a clean and well prepped environment so they can focus on their learning goals and succeed in school! Our writing tools are so important as we work on our fine motor skills and strengthening our finger and hand muscles! The students will be so proud of seeing their hard work and art hanging on the walls with the tape! I know this will be a great school year! Having school supplies is essential to the learning of my students and I want to be able to provide a high quality education for them and make their first school experience a memorable one! Thank you for your generous support! We appreciate you!
