    I want to express our sincere gratitude for your generous donation of STEM kits. These kits will make a profound impact on our students, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, by providing them with the tools and opportunities to explore the exciting world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Your support empowers them to think creatively, solve problems, and develop skills that will benefit them for years to come. Thank you for helping to inspire the next generation of innovators and changemakers. With heartfelt thanks!”

  • Flexible Seating for Focus and Learning

    Funded May 10, 2024

    I am writing to extend my deepest gratitude for your incredibly generous donation of Bouncyband wiggle seat sensory chair cushions and wiggle wobble chair feet. Your contribution has made a remarkable difference in our classroom and the lives of our students.

    Thanks to your support, our students now have access to flexible seating options that help them stay focused and engaged during their learning activities. The wiggle seat sensory chair cushions and wiggle wobble chair feet have provided a positive and supportive environment where students can move comfortably while they work. This flexibility has allowed them to concentrate better and reach their full potential.

    The improvement in their focus and overall classroom participation has been truly inspiring. It is evident that your thoughtful donation has played a significant role in enhancing their learning experience.

    On behalf of our entire school community, I want to express our sincere appreciation for your kindness and generosity. Your support not only benefits our students but also fosters a positive and encouraging learning environment.

    Thank you once again for your incredible contribution. Your generosity makes a world of difference, and we are profoundly grateful for your support.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Martinez

  • Calming Area

    Funded Jan 17, 2024

    Thank you so much for helping my second-grade class have a calming area. I have students who struggle with dealing with their emotions and the calming area has helped them use the strategies to calm themselves.

    I introduced the calming area after reading the book series that you so kindly provided; A Little SPOT of Emotions book box set with plush toys. For the next week, we discussed strategies that they could use to manage their emotions and the "Calming Area". We discussed its purpose and we practiced using it.

    Since then, students have asked to use the calming area and they want to take the books home to share with their families. Having a positive space in the classroom will greatly benefit students socially and academically.

    You have made such a great difference in my students' lives! It means so much to us all!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Martinez

This has been a challenging year for everyone in the school community and my students are not an exception. They have grown so much since the beginning of the year but continue to need more practice. With the Hand2mind Literacy Versatiles my students will be able to practice, independently or in a small group, important literacy skills that will propel them academically. This program is aligned with national standards and promotes a safe learning environment since they can check their answers themselves. I can target the skill that I am teaching and call small groups for those who need more guided practice. I can also assign skills independently to those who just need a bit of review.
