PreK Graduation Supplies and Student Parting Gifts

Help me give my students graduation parting gifts for summer fun and learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ruffner's classroom raised $262

My Project

Our students work hard all year. For most, my prekindergarten class is their very first learning experience. They learn social-emotional skills, explore mathematical concepts, develop language and literacy, build motor skills, and more, all while acquiring essential content knowledge! Our entire year is spent preparing them for kindergarten.

My scholars deserve to be celebrated for their hard work and growth with an exciting send-off to kindergarten!

Please help me to get them a photo backdrop for capturing memories of their graduation day, and parting gifts to promote continued learning during summer break!
