Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Please consider helping me to provide my Pre-K students with a soft place to land on the playground. Rubber mulch is much needed to cushion the fall/landing areas around our Pre-K playground equipment.

My students are extremely active, and we absolutely LOVE spending time outdoors on our playground!

We currently have a very thin layer of mulch that was put in place many years ago, but we are now needing some replenishment in order for the mulch to do its job.

My precious Pre-K kiddos cherish their "park" time here at school! In addition to running and playing on the playground equipment, we often take paint, projects, books, etc. outside just so we can stay for a few extra minutes:) We would be graciously thankful for your donation!
