Dear parents and guardians,
Many of you may have heard from your children about the supplies and stools that have been donated to our classroom through the Donor's Choose program. (So far, I have received 3 bean bag chairs, 6 stools, a heavy duty pencil sharpener, Hot Dots learning games, writing centers, and school supplies that your children use every day!) People and organizations from all over the country make donations to fund these projects. I have had local families, anonymous donations from around the country, The Bill Gates Foundation and even Publix donate.
Any amount, no matter how small is helpful. If you can make a donation, your children will benefit greatly. My latest request can be found by clicking right here. Your children and I thank you for your consideration.
