Some of the most expensive purchases for schools are consumer electronics. We believe that all children need to get acquainted with the tools of the future as they learn so they when they are ready to hit the workforce, they can succeed alongside their peers. Help us in assisting teachers and schools in low-income areas get the tools they need to help their children excel.
Thank you so much for your donation to our project! The children will love seeing their everyday Pre-K memories in pictures and in a yearbook at the end of the year. They can also feel proud that they did it themselves and have a year book that they can look at as an adult. Thank you once again for donating to our project! We really appreciate it”
I cannot begin to tell you how very much your donation is appreciated! At the time that I wrote my proposal, over the summer break, I never imagined what the future held for our little school. As I explained in my description of our school, we were still recovering from Hurricane Rita, which hit in 2005. Little did I know, Mother Nature had another hurricane in store for us. Hurricane Ike hit on September 13th and completely destroyed our school – again! Our entire school was flooded with 8’ to 10’ of water. Walls and windows were completely washed away, leaving very little behind. When I visited the campus after the storm, I was only able to dig a small handful of my teaching supplies out of the mud. We literally lost everything that was in the building (fortunately, we did evacuate what we could ahead of the storm). Bulldozers and other heavy equipment will soon begin to remove what is left of our building that is beyond repair.
Although we missed a month of school, we are now back in the classroom sharing the campus of another school. This school also suffered great damage and loss. To say that supplies are at a bare minimum is an understatement! For this reason, your help is needed and appreciated more than ever. I can’t wait to receive and begin using our new dictionaries and thesauruses. They will really enhance reading and writing instruction in our classroom. Just this week, in fact, a couple of my students were actually asking for a dictionary. I am so happy to be able to tell my kids that help is on the way!
Again, I sincerely thank you for your kindness and generosity. It warms my heart to know that there are people out there that care enough to share their blessings with those in need. I am confident that your donation will help my students to succeed in 4th grade and pass the high stakes LEAP test. Thanks again for choosing to help me educate my students!
How can a simple "thank you" be adequate? You have just touched so many young minds with your generosity! By supporting this project, you have ensured that I will be able to begin truly integrating technology into my classes and stimulating my students to explore the world of art and their own imaginations. Thank you!
Sincerely,

This classroom project was brought to life by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and 18 other donors.
Thank you so much for your generosity. The supplies that you have helped provide for my classroom will help to motivate my students and enhance their learning. No longer will a lack of supplies or English hinder their ability to participate in classroom activities. It will also give me the chance to get a response from every child in my room and quickly assess their strengths and weaknesses as they hold their answers up for me to see. My students will now be able to practice math problems and handwriting as well as brainstorm writing ideas all with the use of whiteboards. Thank you once again for this motivating tool that will help my students to learn and become more engaged in their learning!
I am so excited about this proposal being funded! My students can hardly wait to begin taking and printing pictures. Your support and interest in education are greatly appreciated! Without donors like you, my students would not have this opportunity! Again, thank you for your donation and support”
With gratitude,
Mrs. T.
