• Let's Create!!

  Funded Mar 27, 2025

  Thank you so much!! My students are now able to have their own supplies when they are working on school tasks or choice time. They love the independence of having what they need at their fingertips.

  They each have their own bag with pencils, erasers, crayons, glue and scissors! It makes everyone's day easier to have everything ready to go, and also teaches them to be organized and take care of their belongings. It's a win in so many ways!

  Thank you so much for your generosity! We will be thankful each and every day!”

• Let's Eat Some More!

  Funded Dec 16, 2024

  At a time when many of my students are experiencing food anxiety, I truly appreciate your generosity toward this project. This is the second of its kind this year, and I'm sure that it will not be the last. Food is a strong need in my classroom this year and I truly appreciate your generosity. My students will be thrilled to come back from break to discover many fresh, reasonably healthy, delicious snacks. I'm thankful to give them several choices. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity!”

• We Love to Read and Write!

  Funded Dec 3, 2024

  Thank you so much for your wonderful generosity! We love the new magnetic book holders! My students love the easy access to our mentor books, currently abut the sun, moon and stars. When students are able to find these books so easily they are even more likely to want to read them.

  The journals have been a fabulous addition to our time for writing. Students love writing about any topic and drawing illustrations to match their adventures.

  The Reversible Sequin Sensory Wall has been an amazing addition to our "calm down corner." Every member of the class has enjoyed using it, for fun and also for writing words. It is a fabulous calming addition to the corner.

  We are so grateful for the funding of this project. Thank you!!”

• Let's Eat!!

  Funded Aug 21, 2024

  Thank you very much for your generous support of this project! My students arrive at school hungry and are hungry all day! It has been such a great help to have plenty of snacks for them to choose from during our snack times in the mid-morning and afternoon.

  Having a variety to choose from puts a smile on my students' faces and I am pleased knowing that they are mostly healthy choices. I am grateful every day that my students have many food items to choose from!

  Many thanks for your generous support!!”

• It's a Smorgasbord!

  Funded Jul 30, 2024

  Wow! This is such a great gift to my class and my team! My students love the first grade hand sized water bottles! They are the perfect size keeping down trips to the bathroom while also keeping them hydrated!

  The laminator is in constant use by the first grade team, and we are ever so grateful! Our school laminator is often broken or there is a long wait for projects to be laminated. It is so wonderful to be able to laminate as soon as we need it, especially when it is a last minute project. Thank you!!!”

• Art From the Heart!

  Funded Mar 27, 2024

  Thank you very much for your generosity! My students have everything they need to be successful in the classroom. This project filled a "Tool Kit" for each student. At their fingertips each student has their own pencils, erasers, crayons, glue stick, and scissors. They are ready to learn with all of the essentials in a snap. They are good to go during lessons and free choice times! In addition, they are learning how to be organized when making sure that their tool kits are ready to learn twice a day. Thank you so much for your kindness!”

• Organized for Learning!

  Funded May 7, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generosity! Our classroom is a vibrant and beautifully organized place for learning thanks to you! Nearly every item in our classroom has a place and students are able to quickly and easily find all the supplies that they need. In addition, the classroom looks great when everything has it's place.

  For instance, when a student is in need of crayons or markers, they know exactly where to go whether they need one or a bunch. It makes our learning easier and also adds a bit of independence! Thank you!!!”

• Life is Full of Color!

  Funded Dec 19, 2023

  Thank you very much for the fabulous copier/printer! The entire first grade team has benefitted from this great tool! We now have easy access to color printing. It is so much easier and efficient than requesting from our office administrator assistants and having to wait for when they get time to print.

  Our word walls and many anchor charts have come to life with color! We are so appreciative and thankful! The color coding makes it easy for some of our students to locate and differenciate words and thoughts, making it easier for them to find information that they need.”
