My Project

Rain or shine, our kindergarteners deserve a chance to grow, play, and learn! We’re requesting STEM kits, art supplies, and math games to make indoor recess engaging and joyful for our diverse, low-income classroom of predominantly students of color.

These materials will spark creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving while ensuring our young learners have fun when the weather keeps us inside.

Help us transform rainy days into moments of discovery, connection, and skill-building. Your support will empower our students to thrive, explore, and dream big! Learning and play go hand in hand! These future leaders deserve the best chance to become their most successful selves and we are here to nurture their love for curiosity and learning every step of the way!
