With these funds I will...purchase supplies and materials to support play-based learning in our five PreK-4 classrooms. This money will help our youngest learners learn through play. From dramatic and imaginative play, to story retelling with costumes and masks, and imaginative play with dolls that look like our students, supplies purchased will help our 4 year old scholars learn the way that kids learn best...through play!

Our students live in communities that are traditionally under served by the public education system. It is our mission to provide all students with the same world-class education that their higher-income peers receive in other parts of our city. In an education system that is so heavily influenced by standardized tests, pressure to read at a young age, and frequent assessments, we believe that students both learn and love to learn through intentionally designed play. 

With the money we receive, we will purchase:

• Five Tabletop Puppet Theaters- $48.89 per unit
• Five Jolly Helpers Hand Puppets- $13.50 per unit
• Five Fairy Tale Friends Hand Puppets- $16.00 per unit
• Five My First Career Role Play Costumes- $52.99 per unit
• Five Pretend Food Toy Sets- $23.91 per unit
