My Project

Can you think of anything better than using a new marker or crayon? This project will put new materials into the hands of two kindergarten classrooms! These supplies will benefit our Kindergarten program and will help our young learners become responsible and respectful of classroom materials.

These amazing materials will benefit two classrooms of students and will be used daily to enhance and brighten our curriculum.

These basic classroom supplies will be put to use right away and will help students access the curriculum with color! Thank you for supporting our Kindergarten program!
