My Project

Due to increasing enrollment, PS185 is expanding its 3K program by opening an additional classroom! We are so excited to welcome 15 more 3K students to our school in the fall! However, opening a new classroom means there is a need for more supplies. Donations to this project will help ensure our new 3K classroom has all they need to make a creative and engaging environment. With these materials, students will be able to participate in STEM activities, dramatic play, and collaborative games to jumpstart their love of learning and create foundational social skills in their first year of school!
