The Best End of Year Gifts Ever!

Help me give my students a year end gift including a book to get ready for Kindergarten!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Tuesley's classroom raised $331

My Project

My students will be able to take these books, tablets, bubbles, and supplies to have the best summer ever!

My students deserve the best summer ever as they all come from low income households!

I want them to be able to have books to read all summer long and get them excited for Kindergarten! Our students love using the LED writing tablets to write their name, practice writing letters, and coloring pictures. Bubbles are always a huge hit and they enjoy playing with that too!

Our students have learned a lot this school year and we would love to give them a small gift to keep them learning throughout the summer while preparing them for Kindergarten next year! Thank you for helping support our end of the year gift for our students!
