My Project

I’m reaching out for your help in making a lasting impact on my Pre-K students' educational journey. Our school is a Title I school, meaning many of our students come from low-income families. For many of these children, Pre-K is their first formal school experience, and I want to ensure that it is a memorable and enriching one. I’m requesting donations for a table dedicated to pretend play, a selection of pretend play toys, and Clorox wipes to keep everything clean and safe.

These items are more than just supplies; they are tools that will spark creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving among the children.

Pretend play is vital in early childhood development as it encourages children to use their imagination, work together, and develop key social-emotional skills. The table will provide them with a designated space to explore different roles, build confidence, and learn to communicate effectively with others.

The Clorox wipes will help keep everything sanitized and ensure a safe, healthy classroom environment, which is especially important in a setting with young children. Clean and well-maintained materials allow the students to focus on their learning without the distraction of clutter or germs.

Your donation will not only provide these essential items but also give my students the opportunity to experience a magical and meaningful first year of school. By helping with this project, you are supporting the foundation of their academic journey and helping to make their first school experience unforgettable.

These children are eager to learn and explore, but many lack the resources needed to make their education feel complete. Your generosity will make a world of difference in their early education, ensuring they have the tools and environment to succeed. Thank you for helping me make their Pre-K year as special as it should be!
