    I am wanted to express my deepest gratitude for your generous contribution to our project for new playground equipment!

  • Thanks for Listening!

    Funded Oct 3, 2024

    I am writing to express our deepest gratitude for your generous donation that funded the purchase of new headphones for our classroom. Since receiving them, the impact on our students' learning has been truly remarkable.

    Before the headphones, distractions from surrounding noise were a major obstacle, especially during individual online learning activities or listening to educational audio recordings. Now, with their own personal headphones, students can focus intently on their lessons, leading to improved comprehension and engagement. We've seen a noticeable increase in participation during online lectures and a significant improvement in their ability to complete independent learning tasks.

    The excitement on their faces when they first got to use the headphones was contagious, and they take great pride in caring for their own set. We are now able to incorporate more diverse learning modalities, including audio-based activities and interactive digital lessons, which has enriched the learning experience for all students.

    Thank you again for your incredible support. Your contribution has made a tangible difference in our classroom, allowing our students to reach their full potential.”

  • Getting Connected and Staying Charged!

    Funded Oct 11, 2023

    It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, "Getting Connected and Staying Charged!" With the chargers that were donated, we have been able to tap into further learning with the use of smaller groups to focus on differentiation amongst our students. We have also been able to utilize the Internet to participate in research projects and web based math and reading lessons with the use of our headphones, along with our laptops. This allows for more availability of the technology and the ability to concentrate on their personal learning, which can be limited when you have a large class.

    Again, thank you for your donation. Our children's faces light up when the chromebooks are pulled out. They love the fact that they can have access to fun learning, at the touch of a few buttons and not be ashamed of where their own learning currently stands. We thank you that our students have abundance in school, even though that may not be the case elsewhere."”

  • iPads for Robotics!

    Funded May 6, 2020

    It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give toward the innovation of technology into our classroom. With the Ipads that were donated we will be able to tap into further learning with the use of smaller groups to focus on differentiation amongst our students. We will also be able to utilize the Internet to participate in research projects and web based lessons with the use of our Ipads. Although, with Covid closing things we have not been able to use them yet but will this fall. This will allow for more availability of the technology, which can be limited when you have a large class.

    The use of the Chromebooks and technology are also better preparing our young students for the technology based world that they will grow up in. Having these Chromebooks will have them ready to learn in that capacity.

    Again, thank you for your donation. Our children's faces will light up when the Ipads are pulled out. They love the fact that they can have access to fun educational learning, at the touch of a few buttons. We thank you that our students have an abundance in school, even though that may not be the case elsewhere."”

  • Virtual Learning on the Go!

    Funded Nov 24, 2020

    It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward the innovation of technology into our classroom. I cannot express the joy and appreciation I have for your donation of the iPad , pencil and cover. Your generosity has allowed me to create an effective and loving learning environment for my students this year. With the help of all the supplies you donated, I am now able to properly implement strategies that allow my students to learn by having the correct material.

    An iPad allows me to differentiate my curriculum in order to meet the learning needs of all of my students. Access to an iPad allows me to help my students to develop and practice skills that are necessary for making progress in the classroom. The cover will protect the iPad from damage as well as the pencil allows me to write on the screen easier when necessary

    . Because of budget restraints, it would have been extremely difficult for my school to purchase an iPad. Your donation helped make learning more accessible and more engaging for each and every one of my amazing students.”

  • COVID-19 We Can't Hear You?

    Funded Oct 10, 2020

    It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward "Covid-19 We Can't Hear You?" With the awesome supplies, I am able to supply my students with their own earbuds to individually hear from. These are unprecedented times and while learning at home and when we go into school this will allow students to hear instruction without having to hear noise background in the environment they are in. We no longer have to worry about students not being able to hear their teacher give instruction and they can continue to succeed.

    Thank you for your kind and generous donations! We are very appreciative!!"”
