We have already had to use some of the extra clothes that we were gifted so that students that have had accidents, have not gone home wet and cold. Many of our students were so excited to get hats and gloves and show great pride in them as they wear them each day.

Whether we are printing sight word cards, math games, writing pages, or class books, having access to a color printer helps make learning more engaging and meaningful for five- and six-year-olds. It may seem simple, but something as basic as paper and the ability to print materials when we need them has a huge impact on how smoothly our classroom runs.\r\n\r\nYour donation supports hands-on, creative, and joyful learning experiences every single day. My students are so excited to see their stories, artwork, and projects printed and displayed.
