My Project

Many of my students don't have the joy of getting gifts that are their very own. Many of them do not receive things that are brand new. My project includes a coloring book, a keychain toy, and a gift bag to put it all in.

My students this year love to color.

I have new crayons to give them and would love to combine them with a coloring book of their own. The keychain stuffed animal will be a fun little surprise for them to play with. The joy a bag of goodies will bring is wonderful to see! Your donation to this fun surprise will be appreciated by some special little kindergarteners.
