We are always sure to have it filled with our baking necessities, as well as plenty of cheese sticks, fruit cups, yogurt and bottles of water that our hungry students love when they forget their snack at home!

    Thank you so very much for donating your classroom! Thanks to LOFT and our wonderful PTA's generous donation, our children now have creative choice when it comes to painting with our amazing easel! It moves around the classroom so freely and the kids love looking at new things to paint!

    Besides the wonderful easel, all of the fun new stuff we have to add to our classroom to help make it more welcoming to children on all different backgrounds and nationalities is such a plus! With all of the new books we were able to add to our library, through your donations, the kids love to go to our library now and explore all the new books we have!”

  • Handy Supplies Makes Pre-K Learning Fun and Easy!

    Funded Feb 14, 2024

    Due to your very generous donations, we are able to not only function fully in our everyday teaching, but you have enabled us to be able to make and create so many beautiful projects to make our students Pre-K year more memorable for them and their families!

    We take so many pictures daily in our room, so withe the photo albums, we are now able to gift each child a memento of their entire year in a beautiful book form. This will surely be a cherished gift to the students and their families!

    The tee shirts are also for a fun springtime project, where each child will use the fabric markers to create a beautifully designed shirt created just by them! We love being able to teach beyond our limits due to your amazing contributions and thoughtfulness.”

  • Hands-On Learning for Growing Minds is Fun!

    Funded Nov 27, 2023

    With your generosity, we are able to provide new toys for our centers, learning manipulatives, and so many other important supplies for our classroom.

    Children lose interest in playing with the same things over and over, so it is very important to regularly change the items we have in our centers so that the children remain interested in learning through play.

    This Donors choose project afforded us the opportunity to get new puzzles, board games, learning manipulatives, sensory play items and so much more!

    Thank you for making it so much easier for us to teach your (our) children! We can never thank you enough!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Kristen McCormack

  • Pre-K Loves School Yard Fun!

    Funded Aug 2, 2023

    We can never thank you enough for your continued generosity and thoughtfulness. With your donations we are able to provide many new and fun learning situations for us.

    The children love all the new school yard toys and bubbles. The chalk enables them to become little Picassos and they absolutely love showing off their little masterpieces!

    Being outside and having fun gets them moving and enables their bodies and brains function in ways that we are not able to do in the classroom. So again, thank you so very much from the bottom of our hearts.”

  • Wigging Out in Pre-K

    Funded Aug 2, 2023

    With your kindness and generosity, you help us to add silliness and extra fun to our classroom! Each week we teach the children a new color, and on Fridays we "celebrate" that color by wearing as much of it as humanly possible.

    Just imagine the looks on our students faces when we walk into the auditorium to pick them up with a different color hair and glasses each week! The giggles and questions are pure joy coming from them. It also adds a lot of fun to the whole school, as all the children in the other grades cannot wait to see what each Friday brings.

    So again, most thanks and love for all you do for us and 18 little learners, thank you!”

  • Tiny Artist Make Giant Masterpieces!

    Funded Feb 28, 2023

    In a Pre-K class, you can only imagine the amount of art supplies we go through in a week! Well, whatever you imagined, add to that ten times!! Hands on creativity and play helps a 4 year old's mind grown in so many ways.

    With your generous donation, you enabled us to replenish so many supplies in our classroom. We no longer have to worry if we have enough, or have to sit and count out the supplies to be sure that we have enough on hand for a project.

    When our kids see all the brand new supplies, they get as excited as we do, because who doesn't love new supplies?!

    We cannot thank you enough!!!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Kristen McCormack

In our Pre-K classroom, we use cooking to teach many lessons. Math, science, hygiene, cleaning up and sharing are all part of our weekly cooking lessons. The children look forward to pushing up their sleeves and taking turns measuring and mixing to create yummy treats that we share with others in the school and then bring home to their parents to share with them as well. This new toaster oven will enable us to step up our cooking times to get more done efficiently, as our small one takes forever.
