FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kress's classroom raised $522

My Project

I am blessed to work with so many exceptional students in my special education preschool classroom. Living in rural Alaska bring many challenges to learning due to limited access. One way to further benefit my students is to provide them with books and engaging toys.

Having access to STEM toys and books at home will enrich their learning, promote their creativity outside of the classroom, and interact with their world and others.

I wish for my students to find the joy in learning, and these materials will help make that happen.
