Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

We are currently seeking generous donations of organizational storage box materials, magnetic toys and games, and fine motor toys and games to enhance our programs and activities for our Special Needs Blended Pre K classroom.

The storage bins, magnetic shelves, laminating machine, Feed-The-Animals Fine Motor Games and other materials will be instrumental in promoting learning, creativity, and development among the individuals we serve.

A conducive learning environment is organized for easy use. Magnetic toys promote hands-on learning experiences that are both fun and educational. Fine motor toys significantly impact the development and improvement of crucial motor skills.

Your generous contribution of any of the mentioned materials will play a vital role in enriching the learning experiences of each and every one of my students this year and in the future years to come. Your support will directly contribute to our mission of fostering growth, creativity, and learning in our community.

We all thank you for considering our request. Your support is deeply appreciated and will make a lasting difference in the experience my classroom provides students with many different and diverse needs.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Mary-Beirne Vela

Grades PreK-2
