My Project

Many students who come to school early every day will use party favors, pony beads, rubber band bracelets, and other materials to explore their imaginations. Our scholars love to play together and create masterpieces. We would love for our scholars to be able to put the books down for a few minutes and just have a good time together, playing and being creative.

Our scholars do not have many of these items/materials in their homes, so they truly enjoy getting to school early and being able to play, use these materials to create things, and take them home to their families.

They deserve this opportunity to be creative.
