I am deeply grateful, and as I think about your support I am overwhelmed with excitement and happiness. Just know that my students have what they need and deserve because of your generosity.

Funded Sep 12, 2023I want to thank you for your generosity and for your support. The students enjoy helping keep our tables clean. Clean hands keep our students safe from getting sick and spreading germs. We are so fortunate to have paper towels, facial tissue, disinfecting wipes, foam hand soap, and cleaning spray. I appreciate your donation.
Lucky for my classroom family we are keeping our hands clean and using the best foaming hand soap. In fact, it has helped motivate students to wash their hands more often. Thank you for that! This project brought us much needed supplies to boost everyone to help keep our room clean. Our attendance will improve!
Although the students don't realize the importance of a clean and organized workspace, they really benefit from a nice, clean classroom. Thank you.”

Funded Apr 3, 2023I want to thank you for your amazing support. I am thrilled to have this wonderful subscription to, My Big World. This magazine subscription is the best. Current news and lots of extended learning opportunities. The students enjoy it! Thank you for your support and generosity.
We read it together and it comes every month. My students sit with their own paper and when we are done it goes home. The kids love that they can share it with their parents. The learning follows them into their homes. Smiles all around. I really appreciate that! Thank you for making this dream come true. There's so much learning with our wonderful subscription and you made it all possible. Thank you again.”

Funded Mar 28, 2023My students really enjoy listening to books. I'm very happy to be able to share these amazing stories with them. You definitely deserve an applause for being a super donor. You are so kind, because it is your donation that made this possible. I appreciate your love of reading, and now you have given my little learners books that they will love. The power of a book is exciting because it gets kids wanting more. We have a few favorites, "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom," and "The Snowy Day," are definitely on the list. Books need to be accessible for all my kids. Each student will take home these two books so parents can share these beautiful stories. Every child needs fifteen minutes a day of reading. Thank you for nurturing our students with the power of books. You are my inspiration.”

Funded Jan 3, 2023We are so grateful for your kindness and generous donation. What an incredible opportunity to get the necessary resources to put together a great calming area. The students have responded well and are using this area to calm down. They can select from one minute and up to five minute sand timers. The students decide what plush toy they need to feel better. I have seen a change now that the calming area is ready. Knowing that all are welcomed the kids are empowered to make decisions that help them feel better. Awesome!
I want my students to feel happy and enjoy learning at school, and a calming area gives them the time to regulate their emotions. A break is important for my young learners. The rewards are priceless. Thank you so much for sharing this space with my classroom family. Your donation made it possible.”
