Play Doh for PreK
Funded Apr 5, 2024Thanks so much for you generous donation! You have supplied my class with 80 containers of PlayDoh! We use this everyday in our classroom. We use it to make letters, numbers, shapes, and our names.
We also sent for free play. Students can use their imagination and be creative while making their own masterpieces. Since we use it everyday it gets worn easily so this extra PlayDoh will allow us to use it for the rest of the school year.
It's also a great tool to help with fine motor skills! Thanks again!”

Funded Mar 28, 2024Thanks so much for you generous donation! You have supplied my class with many items of food to eat during snack time!
Some students bring snack from home, but others do not. We will use these food items for snack time for the students who didn't bring one from home.
We will also send home notes to families to see if they could use any extra food items at home. If so, we can use this good to send home so the students have snacks there as well. Thanks again for you generous donation and for caring about my students!”

Socks and Underwear for ENL Newcomers
Funded Mar 18, 2024Thanks so much for your generous donation! You have supplied my students with socks and underwear. My three, four, and five year old still sometimes have bathroom accidents and don't have a change of clothes from home at school. These clothes allow the student to change and stay in school instead of going home for the day!
We also use a lot of art materials during the day. We eat breakfast, lunch and snack too. So our clothes get soiled often and again these clothes allow the students to stay in school!”

Funded Mar 19, 2024Thank you so much for your generous donations! You have supplied my classroom with a plethora of 5T pants for my students. My students are three, four, and five and some still have bathroom accidents. These pants allow them students to change their clothes and stay in school, rather than go home for the day.
We also use a lot of paint and art materials in our classroom. When students spill they have clean pants to change into. We also eat breakfast, lunch, and snack in the classroom and we use these pants for food and beverage spills as well.
Students in need also can take pants home if their parents request them!”

Funded Aug 29, 2023Thank you for your generous donation! You have supplied us with a class set of large crayons! These crayons are wonderful, because they are so large they are really hard to break. Also, the thickness of the crayon makes it easier for little fingers to grasp them properly. These crayons have been wonderful at helping us practice our fine motor skills.
We use these crayons daily. We use the to practice writing letter, numbers, shapes, and our names. We also use them when we create beautiful masterpieces using our imaginations!”

My students love using these paint markers because they come in so many different colors. They are also fast drying so they don't make a mess.

My students love to draw pictures with these paint markers, but they also love to use them to practice writing letters, numbers, shapes, and their names. Thanks again for helping us!”
