My Project

I am seeking funding to support our program to service kindergarten and first grade children in our school. My goal is to provide a nurturing and engaging learning environment that fosters academic and social growth I would like to purchase essential supplies including educational materials (e.g., workbooks and games) as well as classroom supplies. Additionally fidgets and special seating for children that have difficulty sitting fit classroom lessons are included. I feel this will enhance student engagement and motivation and support diverse learning styles and abilities as well as foster creativity and critical thinking.
