Help Me Give My Students a First Rate Music Education!
Funded Nov 4, 2021I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous donation to the students of Napier Elementary. We have learned so much and had so much fun using the resources you provided. The books were very helpful in providing new opportunities to make music in various ways. The students love making music with boomwhackers, drums, and other musical instruments. They were so excited to realize that someone made all this possible for them.
The wipe-off staff boards have been very useful in teaching music literacy and also for allowing students to create their own music. The LED lights and room decorations make the music room a fun and exciting place to be. They have responded very favorably to the change in our classroom.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. My students thank you even more. Your generosity is amazing!”
With gratitude,

Help Children Realize It's Fun to Read!
Funded Sep 25, 2015Thank you so much for your generous donation. My reading class had two main targets: vocabulary and fluency. The Readers' Theater scripts require the students to read until they are fluent. That means lots of practice but in a way that is very enjoyable for them. They had a blast taking on different characters and telling different stories.
Increasing vocabulary is a major goal for our entire school. "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is full of wonderful words the children had fun learning the meanings of. The teacher's guide you provided had vocabulary built into every lesson. The kids had a lot of fun trying to guess the meanings of the words using context clues.
I remember reading "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" when I was in third grade and loving it! These kids did, too! They were supposed to read a chapter a night, but many of them had it completely read the first week. When we finished studying the book, we had a Chocolate Party with brownies, ice cream, chocolate syrup, and Yoo-Hoo drinks.
The kids and I thank you so much your generosity and for helping us out. We had a great semester of learning and fun thanks to you.”
