INDOOR RECESS MATERIALS NEEDED.
Teachers need items to occupy our children in an engaging way during inside recess.

If you find something to donate, please take a second to indicate so at
www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0545a4a6229-indoor –
just so we won’t receive too many of a particular item. Drop off all new or gently used items
to the front office or bring them to any NAM event and hand it to a PTO leader.
Items will be distributed to teachers based on their classroom’s needs.
Check back often for updates to the list. Thanks for helping the NAM Community! –
