My Project

Having age-appropriate school supplies and snacks is very important for students entering kindergarten because it helps support their learning, independence, health, and confidence. Young children need supplies that are safe, easy to use, and designed for their developmental level. Items such as large crayons, beginner pencils, blunt scissors, and small glue sticks help children practice fine motor skills without frustration. Age-appropriate snacks are also essential because kindergarten students need healthy foods that are easy to chew, nutritious, and safe for young children. Healthy snacks help students stay focused, energized, and ready to learn throughout the school day. Providing appropriate supplies and snacks also creates a positive classroom environment where children can participate successfully, build confidence, and develop important social and academic skills during their first school experience.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
