  • Start With the Basics

    Funded Aug 20, 2024

    On behalf of my fifth graders, I want to thank you for your immense generosity that enabled them to have theses essential school supplies. My students were super excited to receive the folders and notebooks! The folders are utilized for English Language Arts, including reading and writing assignments. The notebooks are being used for math assignments ( note taking, so important!) on a daily basis.

    The use of highlighters is vital for all subject areas as reading and writing are incorporated in science and social studies throughout the week. We will continue using these material across the school year as well. A million thanks!”

  • Charging Ahead!

    Funded Dec 6, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generosity! This will help our classroom immensely as use our laptops daily for instruction, practice, and research. Since it is essential to have devices charged on a daily basis, the use of long charging cords can be a safety hazard. This will ensure student safety as well!”

  • Help Us Reach the Masses!

    Funded Feb 20, 2024

    On behalf of my students thank you immensely for your generosity. These devices are an added tool for out student leadership to continue helping improve our school. The Students are currently working on a Women's History Month project which they will present to the classes in all grade levels, from Kinder to fifth grade.

    As these tablets are mobile and have long lasting batteries the students are able to complete a lot of the work in less time than with standard laptops, some with no chargers available. Thank you again for helping our Student Leadership and our school as well!”

  • Being Financially Literate

    Funded Oct 21, 2023

    Thank you immensely for your generosity! The materials you helped provide my students with are being used on a daily basis. The pencil sharpener and pencils helps maintain the students' writing very legible throughout their subject areas. The students were very excited upon seeing the materials, especially the notebooks and highlighters as they are used frequently during math lessons and activities.

    The easel pads were used during our science lesson on weather systems as they explored different types of clouds and extreme weather. Once again I thank you on behalf of my students for your generous donations!”

  • Healthy Beginning

    Funded Sep 8, 2023

    On behalf of my fifth grade students, I want to thank you again for your tremendous generosity! My students are always eager to help and they are using these materials on a weekly basis. They use their computers often for assignments and they keep their devices clean with the electronic wipes. Both their screens and keyboards are maintained clean. As they completed a couple of art projects recently, the Swiffer wipes came in handy to keep the floors clean! The students also maintain their desks, tables, shelves, and doors sanitized with the all purpose cleaners and disinfectant sprays. We couldn't have all of this without your support!”

  • Batter Up and Let's Play Ball!-part 2

    Funded Feb 11, 2020

    A million thanks on behalf of my students for these sports items! The softball equipment was absolutely necessary as students finally returned to in person learning. They were so excited to play outside after all that time! These softballs and bats were ( and continue to be) so helpful as some students played this game for the first time along with others who had previous experience. ALL of them enjoyed the equipment, especially fifth graders who look forward to playing against the staff at the end of the school year. Thank you for supporting my students and our school!”

  • Batter Up and Let's Play Ball!

    Funded Dec 31, 2019

    A million thanks for your tremendous generosity! As we finally fully transitioned to in person learning, the return of team sports and games was well received! The students were so eager to play outside after that long absence. We began practicing the softball/baseball basics with the foam bats and balls and transitioned into the training softballs as the weeks went by. The students' enthusiasm was so evident as they looked forward to playing outside every week. The catcher's helmet was so important to have as safety is always our number one priority. Thank you again on behalf of our students!”

  • Storing Our Belongs in a Safe Place!

    Funded Apr 13, 2021

    Thank your for your tremendous generosity, especially during the pandemic! As we slowly transitioned back to in person learning materials such as these containers were so essential. Students needed to feel safe and healthy as they returned to class. These materials allowed them to keep their basic school supplies and personal items close to them and permitted them to focus on their learning and not worry about sharing school supplies especially during the pandemic. It was a challenging time for all but with the right materials we found success! Thanks again!”

  • That's the Way to Clean!

    Funded Oct 6, 2022

    Thank you for your immense generosity! Keeping a safe and clean classroom environment is so vital regardless of being in a pandemic. Students' health and safety is still our number one priority. Tissues and paper towels are essential items to keep students' desks and tables constantly clean. The students are always eager to help clean the classroom, apart from their own desks. They will use the swiffer wipes to clean the floors during the week and take turns with these tasks. Whether it be a breakfast spill, paint drips, or simply wiping off dust, these supplies are very essential. Thank you again for helping us out!”

My students are fourth graders that emphasize a college-bound mentality. My students are highly motivated learners. We noticed that a printer and a laptop would be very necessary in order to complete our writing in order to be ready for "classroom" publication. Our school is in a high poverty area. All of our students receive free lunch, and we are a Title I school. As a result, we only have one desktop. To ensure our students have the essential tools for the future we need a laptop and a printer.
