Our
class
uses a wide variety of materials in our learning centers. There
are several inexpensive items on our wish list that we need for projects
and art activities. If you can provide any of these items we would
greatly appreciate it! You may send the items to school in your
child's backpack or drop them off in the classroom.

Corporate
Donations Also Accepted
It
is a popular misconception that all materials needed in a public school
classroom are provided by the school district. Public school
teachers spend on average $1,000 or more per year out of their own
pocket on items used exclusively by children in the classroom. Our
room is no exception, that is why we seek corporate donations to help
defray the cost of these items.
