My Project

I am requesting supplies to help us start our kindergarten year with creativity, joy, and connection. Items like paint, back-to-school books, and art materials play an important role in creating a warm and inspiring classroom environment. I’m also asking for a voice amplifier so that students can hear me clearly, especially when the portable air conditioner is running.

We are in need of paint, paint pots, felt-tip pens, and paper to give children multiple ways to express themselves through art.

A few carefully chosen books will also help set the tone for a wonderful year of learning.
