Sending Happiness through Cards

Help me give my students arts and craft stupplies to create one of a kind Valnetine Cards

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Goetzinger's classroom raised $456

This project is fully funded

My Project

Help me give my kindergarten students supplies to create Valentine cards and letters to older adults living in retirement communities.

These supplies will be used by my kindergarten students to create one-of-a-kind Valentine's notes and letters to show love, caring, and thoughtfulness for others.

My students will use the paper, stickers, and art materials to use their creativity to design beautiful cards. The folders and bags will be used to keep their cards organized for delivery. Creating these cards for those in need will help them, hopefully, brighten their day and bring a smile to their faces.
