Thank you very much for your generous funding of the book, Holes. I am very excited to get started and will be finding other recourses to truly make this a memorable experience for my students. This is a story that my students will be able to connect to for many years to come”

Mr. Carson

Thank you for your generosity in funding this proposal. I was worried that it may not be funded. My students have already seen the booklets that have been produced by previous classes. Many have read the stories that other students have produced with the goal of producing even better work. This type of healthy competition makes teaching very rewarding. I was afraid that I was going to have to tell my students that I would not be able to afford to put together classroom books this year. Your support will make this project viable and will further involve my students in their learning. Thank you again for your support”

My students and I are so excited! We just got the news this morning that our proposal had been funded! It won't be long now till we can set up our Mimio Board and start using it in class every day! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your donation! Without your help, this would never have been possible”

Thank you for your generous donation for the listening center. I am thrilled that my students will have an opportunity to use this resource on a daily basis. I know my students will benefit greatly from this listening center.

I am humbled by your generosity and I will personally tell you that you have made a difference in a student's life with this donation!

Thanks again for your generosity!

Thank you so much for funding my proposal. I can't wait to share the good news with my students. We have already begun our first movie project of the school year, but it does not include any video. It only has still pictures and scans of pictures. With these cameras we will be able to add video to the projects, as well as document all our activities of this school year, such as the upcoming Halloween parade in three weeks.

Know that you have made a difference in the lives of my second graders.

Thanks again”

Mr. D.

Not too long ago, you took time from your very busy day to read about my students' and my need to serve them better. Something special spoke to you and you decided to help. You are now a part of my students' lives and education. You will never know how much of an impact you have had, but I assure you that the impact will be enormous. You have helped to prove that there are still generous people in the world who will help strangers. It takes a village to raise a child. Thank you for being part of our village. With much thanks, Regin”

You know how most writers say they experience "writer's block?" Well, my students have language and writing disabilities and ALWAYS have writer's block. But, with your donation they now have access to a software program designed for them. The goal for the sixth and seventh graders is to write a perfect paragraph, and eighth graders are trying for a perfect essay. With your donation, my students will be able to meet their goals, and they are enthusiastic to do so. I can't wait to see how their writing improves.

Thanks for choosing to fund our project. We will use these supplies constantly in my classroom.

With a heart full of thanks,

What a joy to open my email and find that you funded my wish for flash drives to my students! And the day after Thanksgiving at that! "Thank you" seems so trivial to say, but from the bottom of my heart I do thank you. I know many of my students will take these flash drives with them to college, so the impact of this gift will continue. Your choice to grant my wish is especially generous during this time of economic hardship for all of us. May your thoughtfulness bless you again and again.

Sincerely,

Thank you for your generosity and kindness. My students will be extremely excited to know publishing options are on their way. With this year's Writing Workshop implementation and Young Authors around the corner the materials you provided will create proud authors in my classroom. Your purchases are greatly appreciated and will be used to generate motivation and confidence in my students. Thank you for making a difference.

Thank you so much for your support of this project and of our classroom here in Denver! I am so impressed and comforted by your generosity towards our students and towards education in general. I can promise that your donations will go an extremely long way in helping our students’ achievement. Not only will the technology that you have provided for our students raise investment and engagement in class, but it will also bring us a step closer to closing the technology gap that exists between wealthy and low-income communities.

This wireless tablet is one of the final missing pieces that will make our classroom a place of technological learning and exploration. I have already began to research ways to incorporate the tablet into my instruction, and I’m very confident that it will help the clarity of content presentation tremendously. You can be confident that I will put in the work necessary to maximize the potential of this technology.

On behalf of all of my students and myself, thank you so much again for your investment in their achievement. I know they’ll be thrilled to know that there are people in this country who they don’t even know that are supporting their success. Your generosity and support of our cause moves me tremendously.

Sincerely,

Mr. F”
