Education Foundation partners with Berkshire Hathaway to give welcome bags to incoming kindergarten families
Summary
District speakers said the Education Foundation and a Welcome Home project with Berkshire Hathaway provide take-home bags with Play-Doh, markers and worksheets to support families preparing children for kindergarten.
A staff member (S3) described the Welcome Home project: "We supply welcome bags, full of kindergarten activities, things like Play Doh and dry erase markers, crayons, little worksheets," the speaker said, explaining the Education Foundation's role in providing materials to new families.
District staff linked the bags to welcoming families and introducing them to the district and the foundation's work. The initiative was framed as part of a broader effort to support transitions into kindergarten and encourage families to enroll and remain in the district.
