Thank you for helping us continue the Toolkits Project which launched in 2003, and helps economically disadvantaged kindergartners who attend the Title I Extended Learning Opportunities Summer Adventures in Learning (ELO SAIL) Program at approximately 25 to 30 school sites each summer.
The toolkits contain most of the school supplies that kindergartners need to have at home to support their learning at school such as magnetic letters and numbers, bottle caps, crayons, play-doh, ABC and math cards, and more. Over the last 12 years, the program has donated over 14,000 toolkits to MCPS students.
Each kit typically costs $18 for each child and books cost approximately $4 each. To operate at full capacity, the Toolkits and Books Campaign hopes to raise $35,000.
Every gift no matter the amount helps a child get off to a great start for the school year.
