Tricycles for Kindergarteners!

My students need 4 tricycles.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Deshpande's classroom raised $822

This project is fully funded

I am a new kindergarten teacher in very low socio-economic area in California. Ninety percent of my students receive free or reduced lunch. Most of my students have not had the typical experience of other children their age.

Our kindergarten classes are in need of tricycles. Many students have never been on a tricycle or a bicycle before so this is their very first experience.

With your donation, 80 kindergrtners would be able to pedal their hearts away. This would give them something positive to do on the playground and help with their self esteem. It would be so fun for them to do, as kindergarten is much more academic than it used to be. Also, it just may help large students lose those few added pounds. I can't wait to tell them "Pedal Away!"

Thank you for considering this proposal. It will literally make a difference to the hearts of 80 kindergrtners!
