  • My Writing Instrument to Inspire!

    Funded May 15, 2024

    The words thank you is such is only made up of two words, but the meaning is larger than life. I cannot express how much your donation to my project means to me and my students. The world is made up of different kinds of people that fall basically into two categories. Those who care and those who don't. How grateful are we that you fell into the first one.

    When my students opened the package and saw all the different types of pencils they screamed with delight. I explained to them that someone out there cares about them. I wish you could have seen the smiles.

    So on behalf of me and my students, we say THANK YOU!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Chalmers

  • Notebooks a Must !

    Funded Jul 31, 2023

    I am so happy to report how successful the notebooks have been in my classroom. The students love using the half notebook for SEL . They treat it like a diary where they can express themselves. We use them every morning of the school week. No one is allowed to read it so they are telling their actual feelings more honestly.

    The story book notebook allows them to illustrate their writing pieces. It allows those who are not strong writers to tell their story. Who would have known that a notebook could bring so much wealth to a classroom. I quess that person is you. Thank you so much for taking the time to support my project.”

  • I Need to See!

    Funded Sep 29, 2022

    My students and I wish to take this time to say thank you for supporting this project. Not only can we see our lessons more clearly, but it has also helped us improve our understanding of the materials presented. Learning has become more fun for us now that we can see and hear the materials presented. Saying thank you seems like too small of a gesture and if we could do more, we would.

    THANK YOU - a polite expression used when acknowledging a gift, service, or compliment, or accepting or refusing an offer. Thank you for being that person who cares about the students in my students.”

  • I Need a Place to Store My Things!

    Funded Jul 12, 2021

    As the school year started I had the extra worry of how my students could keep their materials in separate places but close enough and easy enough for them to have access. Your wonderful gift gave me the source I needed to accomplish this task. We use the bags and folders every day. Each student has his/her own set and can reach their materials at a moment notice.

    My students and I wish to thank for you taking the time to donate to us. You could have picked any project so we do not take this opportunity for granted. It shows you saw have important our need to stay safe in our learning environment. So with humble hearts we say THANK YOU !”

  • The Right Tools to Write!

    Funded Jul 11, 2021

    A pencil can make all the difference in the world. Your gift enable me to provide my students with the right tools to write with. Every time a student says I need a pencil I am able to respond to them go get one from the pencil can. Its amazing how such a small item can impact the learning of my students.

    So to you I say Thank you with all my heart. It is because of people like you who take the extra weight off of Teachers and provide us with the materials to support our students. A little becomes much when you place it in the right hands. With love and gratitude we say THANK YOU!”

  • Things I Need for School!

    Funded Jun 9, 2021

    After finding out my project was funded I was overwhelmed with gratitude. The materials you helped supply to my classroom enabled me to buy other needed things with worry how I was going to do both.

    I presented your gifts to my class as well as the parents. They could not believe that there are people out there who would take the time to think about their children and help with much needed supplies. This lessen the cost they would have had to spend at the beginning of the school year.

    So with humble hearts that are busting with love and gratitude, We say THANK YOU !”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Chalmers

  • School Supplies to Start the Year Off Right!

    Funded Nov 15, 2020

    At times like these we need an anchor. Be very sure your anchor holds and grips the solid rock. Donors like you have become that anchor for Teachers like me. We find ourselves dealing with things we never had to face before. Your wonderful gift has allowed me to give my students much needed supplies to impact their education.

    We use the notebooks for journal writing , a place to express our ideas . We also use them in phonics where we learn to print our letters and learn their sounds along with sight words to begin reading. We use the pencils and colored pencils to write and draw in all subject areas. We use crayons to illustrate our drawing and bring them to life. Who would believe a few supplies could make a world of difference.

    So on behalf of my students I take this time to thank you for all you have done and to let you know that gift has had a great impact on the lives of my students. Stay safe and strong.”

  • Literacy Is the Key to Learning!

    Funded Dec 14, 2018

    I would like to take this time to thank you for all you have done in helping me provide much needed materials for my students. We have used these materials and have already gained improvement in literacy. It is people like you who make it possible for Teachers like me to provide resources to their students. The materials enable the students to work by them self or in groups while I work with another group of students. It has given them a sense of independence and achievement in being able to finish something on their own. Thank you for bringing this sense of pride to my classroom.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Chalmers

I am a kindergarten grade teacher in a high-need community. At present I have 25 young minds eager to learn. My students deserve the best education but all we hear are about are budget cuts. That seems to be the hip word for today. But in spite of this I know that we must still provide our children with the best education available.
