  • It's Not Glamorous, But We Need Paper!

    Funded Aug 24, 2006

    I can not begin to tell you how excited I was to see that you funded our grant for paper. While I teach at a public school, we lack many of the most basic supplies. Teachers either have to purchase resources with their own money or do without, and it is the students who ultimately suffer. Having paper and boards to write on will directly change every part of my student's instruction. Homework papers, extra work, writing, math and science all require paper to write on and now we will even be able to save paper by writing on dry erase boards.

    Thank you again for your generous donation. My first graders will have a significantly better year because of you.

    Sincerely,

    Leah Feldma”

  • DNA And Genetics Labs

    Funded Aug 24, 2006

    Thank you very much for the DNA and genetic kits. Working in Los Angeles has brought some difficulty. There are not many tools that we can use in the middle school that keep projects hands-on and keep the student engaged and stay with in the standards of the subject matter. My administrator could not justify this purchase. I think he had no idea what really came out of doing these labs. Again I want to thank you. I will enjoy teaching this subject area with these new materials.

    Sincerely, Donna T

  • It's Alive!

    Funded Jun 28, 2006

    I'm so excited about your donations that will provide these wonderful resources to my students! During summer school, we spent quite a bit of time working in the outdoor habitat, and the children love to visit the pond to see what new creatures they can find. I know that having live organisms in the classroom will be a great learning experience for them. Your donation makes that possible. It's summer vacation now, but we'll be back in September and you'll hear from the students themselves.

    Thank you again,

    Susan ”

  • "Attracted" to Karyotypes

    Funded Jun 23, 2006

    I am SO EXCITED!! This is the first time I have received funding for one of my ideas! I am so grateful for your willingness to fund my "Attracted to Karyotypes" project! I will have one Standard Biology class, one Honors Biology class, and one AP Biology class for the fall semester and they all will be using this karyotype kit. I also hope that my colleagues will want to use it with their classes. Thank you so much for funding this project!

  • Learning Outside In The Garden Is More Fun Than Learning Inside The Classroom!

    Funded Jun 18, 2006

    Thank you! I can't wait to tell my students about the generous donation you've given us! Now we can finally get to work on cleaning the garden! Our garden will be ready for planting and student lead events by the end of the year.

    Because summer vacation is nearly upon us, my students will be sending you feedback when we return in the fall. By this time we will have had ample time to use the work gloves and be able to show you before and after photos of the garden. Thanks, again.

    Sincerely,

    Sam ”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Ullery
