Mrs. Garton from Adams NE is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Safe and Fun Dramatic Play!

Help me give my students a new wooden kitchen playset! Due to the extra cleaning necessary to keep us healthy and in school our old plastic kitchen set is starting to crack and lose its stickers.

My Students

My school is located in a small Southeast Nebraska town. We are a K-12 school and serve approximately 400 students. We are back in school and are excited to be able to do our learning face-to-face. We wear masks, wash our hands A LOT and do extra cleaning so that we can stay healthy and stay in school! My kindergarteners are adapting well to the changes that are growing their brains through lots of hands-on play!

My Project

Our school is meeting face-to-face for learning with many precautions in place to keep us safe and in school. One of those precautions is increased cleaning. We currently have a plastic kitchen set, but due to the need to clean it regularly, the stickers that enhance the fun of our kitchen set are peeling off and fading.

We'd love to get a new wooden kitchen set that can withstand the increased cleaning and sanitizing.

Play is essential to our youngest learners! We use our imagination and work with our friends to build our imaginations and have fun! Please help us continue to bring quality playtime and learning into our classroom.
