My Project

Kindergarten is such and amazing year for these students. For some it is the first experience they have in a school setting. These kids make me smile from the minute they walk through those doors. I want to instill the love of learning from their first official year on their journey.

I love watching the kids blossom throughout the year.

These supplies assure that they will all have what they need to start the year to be successful. More and more often families are not able to afford supplies so I have to supply them for the students. DonorsChoose has been an amazing help to make this possible.
