My Project

With your help, I will be able to create a homey and inviting space for all of my students. As they enter a new time of their lives in kindergarten, I’m also entering a new one of being a new teacher!

For most of my students this is their first time in an educational setting.

I am asking for flexible seating & chair bands so students can learn to find ways to manage restless legs and feet. The art supplies, markers, Play Dough and Arts and Crafts Supplies & Materials, will be used for art enrichment activities. The new books will used for read alouds.

Any help that you can provide to us would be greatly appreciated! It can become highly overwhelming thinking of all the things we have to supply for our classrooms, but knowing there are donors like you out there who will assist teachers to creating beautiful classrooms is so heartwarming. Thank you so much!
