This request impacts multiple families.

Children can build resiliency and overcome obstacles when they have moments of highly engaging and motivating materials within reach. Learning/building toys such as Legos, K'NEX, magnetic tiles, STEM building toys/blocks, Monilon Magnet Sticks add to environments that foster curiosity which can then lead to strengthening confidence (a foundational component in learning). Those skills will be noticed. Adults naturally provide positive feedback to children while at play and those attributes can be relayed later when a child is applying themselves in a more challenging moment like meeting a new friend or sustaining effort during an academic task, like writing. Special Instructions: New or used children's building toys can be dropped off at Soaring Hawk Elementary from 8:00-4:00.
