Your donations helped supply dozens of new and replacement supplies for what is most students' favorite place to spend an hour each week.\r\n\r\nThe games, arts and craft supplies, and materials that are helping students take their creations to the next level are bringing smiles and joy to every grade level K-5. Every child finds something they love to do in CAMP: building, creating, inventing, discovering, experimenting, trying, failing, changing, and trying again. The level of independence that many of the materials has allowed has given everyone autonomy and built confidence.\r\n\r\nThis fall, I started a board games club for Kindergarten, 4th, and 5th grades. Next month, it will become a greeting card creation space, before becoming a free maker space after the New Year. I would not have been able to offer this opportunity without this important purchase of supplies and materials.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping make a difference to so many wonderful kiddos!","fullyFundedDate":1784985974128,"projectUrl":"project/fall-camp-restock/10395528/","projectTitle":"Fall C.A.M.P.
