Printing a Brighter Future for Our Kindergarteners

Help me give my students access to a reliable printer would greatly enhance the quality of instruction I can provide.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rayford's classroom raised $476

This project is fully funded

My Project

As a dedicated kindergarten teacher working in a high-poverty community, I am writing to request a printer for our classroom. I serve a diverse group of young learners, many of whom come from economically disadvantaged households and face daily challenges that impact their educational journey. Despite these obstacles, our classroom is a space filled with curiosity, creativity, and a strong desire to learn.

Having access to a reliable printer would greatly enhance the quality of instruction I can provide.

In a kindergarten setting, hands-on activities, visual aids, and personalized materials are essential. From alphabet practice sheets and early readers to behavior charts, newsletters, and learning games, printed materials help bring our lessons to life. Unfortunately, without a classroom printer, I often have to rely on limited school resources or pay out of pocket to print materials at home or at outside facilities.
