Preschool Power! A Good Sleep So We Can Learn

Help me give my students naptime blankets, and laundry detergent so teachers can wash them.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cathy's classroom raised $292

This project is fully funded

My Project

In our Preschool Classroom, the children nap every day. We already have classroom sheets that the children use and the teacher washes, but we don't have blankets. Right now, the children are bringing their own blankets weekly, and then taking them home to wash and return. This wash and return process means that often times blankets don't come back and we have to lend them a blanket, or they come back obviously unwashed.

Heinlein says, "Happiness consists of getting enough sleep - just that, nothing more."

Supplying the children with classroom blankets to go with their sheets, and providing the teachers with washing detergent to keep them clean will help ease the naptime process, and make sure everyone has a clean blanket every day.
