Art supply donation letter.
"Your recycling is our art cabinet" — a friendly checklist letter that turns family recycling bins into a stocked project shelf, complete with a safety note and a drop-off line.
A wish list families can fill from the recycling bin.
Small ask, outsized goodwill.
This letter saves you real money on craft supplies, but its quiet superpower is engagement: a family that sends in egg cartons is invested, and a child who spots their own strawberry basket in an art project gets a little jolt of pride. It's the lowest-stakes way there is to make families feel like participants in the program rather than customers of it.
- Check only what you can store. The checkbox format exists so you can ask for six things, not twelve — a supply-closet avalanche is a real risk with a generous parent community.
- Time it to projects. "We're building bird feeders in March, send tubes" beats a standing request — specificity gets action, and the deadline stops the trickle that never ends.
- Honor the safety screen. The letter promises a wash and a once-over; the buttons-and-sequins line is for rooms without mouthing-age children. Your infant-room families will notice you thought of it.
- Close the loop. A photo of the egg-carton caterpillars on the wall — or in a daily update — is the thank-you that guarantees next month's donations.
Announcements that reach every family at once.
In Wylari, a supply request is one announcement — every family sees it in their portal, and the photos of what the donations became close the loop automatically.
