  Funded Apr 9, 2025

  From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your generous support of our DonorsChoose project. You're not just helping us fill a shelf; you're opening doors to new worlds for my students.

  Every new book you've helped bring into our classroom represents a story waiting to be discovered, an experience waiting to be shared. You're giving my students the chance to explore diverse perspectives, ignite their imaginations, and truly fall in love with reading.

  A classroom library should be a living, breathing thing, constantly welcoming new voices and adventures. Your kindness ensures that our shelves will be a source of wonder and inspiration for years to come.

  Thank you for believing in the power of stories and for investing in the hearts and minds of my students. We are deeply grateful.”

• Celebrating Lunar New Year: Year of the Snake!

  Funded Dec 18, 2024

  We're still buzzing from the incredible Lunar New Year celebration, and it's all thanks to your amazing support. We just wanted to send a huge, heartfelt thank you for your generosity towards our project. You helped us bring all the vibrant energy of Flushing's Lunar New Year right into our classroom – it was truly special for our students and their families during this Year of the Snake.

  Lunar New Year means so much to our community, and you helped us create our very own little version of that amazing, colorful festival that takes over the streets. Your contribution was such a big part of teaching our kids about the rich traditions and what this time of year really means.

  Our family events were a blast! We had everyone making red envelopes and, thanks to you, each child received their very own adorable snake plush! They were such a hit and a wonderful way to celebrate the Year of the Snake. We also snapped happy photos with the festive decorations you helped us get. It wasn't just fun; it really helped everyone connect with the traditions and understand the beauty of our Lunar New Year heritage.

  Honestly, thank you doesn't feel like enough. Your support didn't just make our project happen; it made it even better than we could have hoped, and those snuggly snakes are something everyone will remember. The success of our Lunar New Year celebration this year is all thanks to wonderful people like you who believe in sharing our culture and making special memories.

  Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts, for your kindness and for making our Lunar New Year celebration so incredibly special and meaningful. We are so grateful for you and can't wait to make more amazing memories together in the future!”

  With gratitude,

• Cool Snacks, Healthy Kids: Replacing Our Classroom Fridge

  Funded Jan 5, 2025

  I wanted to send a heartfelt thank you again for your incredible support in funding our new classroom refrigerator! My very first DonorsChoose project was actually for a fridge, and that simple addition made such a huge difference in our classroom.

  When our old fridge broke down, we realized just how much we'd come to rely on it. Suddenly, we couldn't keep milk cold, store fresh fruit, or have those healthy snacks readily available. It really threw us for a loop! Thankfully, your generous donation helped us get back on track quickly.

  Your support reminded us that even seemingly small things can have a massive impact. We're so grateful for your help in getting our classroom back to normal, and for reminding us not to take those everyday conveniences for granted.

  Thank you again for your kindness and for making a real difference in our students' lives.”

• Tales and Tunes: the Magic of Tonies for Our Classroom

  Funded Dec 4, 2024

  The Tonies have truly made a significant and positive impact on my students, particularly in their language development and confidence.

  While there was a brief learning curve as we integrated the Tonies into our classroom routine, several students have embraced the Toniebox with enthusiasm. It's been inspiring to witness their engagement with the stories and songs. From a teacher's perspective, it's difficult to resist the desire to expand our collection and offer even more diverse listening experiences.

  The most remarkable impact has been on my language learning students. The increased exposure to English through the Toniebox has led to a noticeable improvement in their speaking skills. They are demonstrating greater confidence in using English, and I believe this is directly related to the consistent and engaging listening practice they receive. It's truly amazing to see how much language they are absorbing and how it's translating into increased fluency and self-assurance.

  The Tonies project has provided a fun and interactive way for my students to develop their language skills, and your support has been instrumental in making this possible. Thank you for investing in their future and helping them build confidence in their English speaking abilities.”

• The Winds of Winter is Coming: Protecting Our Young Explorers

  Funded Oct 18, 2024

  We are deeply grateful for your support in our goal to gift of hats, scarves, and gloves to our students. Your support brought warmth and smiles during a the start of winter. While we're in the last days of Fall, we've seen some unprecedented chilly temperatures that may foreshadow a harsh winter of cold winds and freezing temperatures. But because of your support, our kids have what they need to combat the wintery weather.

  They proudly wear their new wolf hats, scarves, and gloves, staying warm and stylish. It is wonderful to see them confidently facing the cold, a testament to both their resilience and your kindness.

  Seeing our students wearing their wolf hats has been a heartwarming reminder of the power of giving. Your support has made a tangible difference, keeping them warm and cozy during these cold spells. It's comforting to know that your generosity will make a great impact for the winter months ahead! Thank you!”
