My Project

Join our mission to enrich the minds of our 45 young kindergarteners! We teach in a diverse community in San Francisco, California. Our classes consist of Black and Hispanic students and at least 70% of them are socio-economically disadvantaged.

By donating to our project, you'll provide a gateway to a world of wonder through captivating magazines.

Each month, every Kindergartener will receive 4 copies of Scholastic Let's Find Out Magazines which covers a range of topics from science to history to current events. These magazines will enrich their educational experience because they cover topics that are meaningful and engaging for our students. The magazine subscription also includes teacher to access the digital magazines to read during Shared Reading so that our students feel confident to read to their families when they bring them home. With your support, these curious minds will dive into colorful stories, fascinating facts, and inspiring adventures that spark their love for reading and learning. Imagine the joy on their faces as they discover new worlds and ideas, thanks to your generosity. Let's come together and empower these little learners with knowledge, creativity, and endless possibilities.

Your contribution will create a treasure trove of knowledge for our kindergarten class, shaping the bright minds of tomorrow. Donate now and be part of this magical journey!
