My Project

Our PreK program is in a very low socioeconomic community and many of our students don't get many opportunities to experience learning through play.

Investing in our project will enable us to provide resources for art and hands on learning setting them up for success in school and beyond.

We will explore learning colors and handwriting through guided drawing with paint and paper. We will have a quiet spot where the bean bags will be located offering seating options in our classroom for kids who need to decompress and refocus. Every item on our list down to the printer ink to help teach colors will only enhance the experience that our students will have in PreK.
