My Project

It might seem crazy, but it is almost the end of the school year already! We have had a lot of fun getting to know our students and watching their growth throughout the year.

We would like to give them sunglasses,

bubbles, play-doh, and a fun fidget toy, crayons and some coloring books to keep them busy in the hot summer months.

We would love to be able to give them each a special bag with some fun items for summer that will keep them learning and engaged at home. Often times we hear of the summer slide, but by providing resources and fun items, our hope is to keep our children learning, while having fun!

We are so grateful for your support and look forward to surprising our students with these fun summer items!
