  • Wants and Needs for Second Graders

    Funded Apr 21, 2025

    Thank you so much for helping to fund my project! My students love being creative and using t their imagination during STEM time so they will live the magna tiles sets. The headphones will also help them focus more while using their iPads. I’m so excited to share with my class that they will be receiving these great supplies!”

  • Winter Break Fun

    Funded Jan 1, 2025

    I want to thank you again for donating to my project. This was a very cold winter so the students were so happy to get warm blankets and socks to take home! They also got to have a special treat at home with the hot chocolate and marshmallows!

    I think one of their favorite things were the joke cards! They used the jokes when they made valentines cards for soldiers!

    They were also excited to use the scratch art and coloring books at home when it was too cold for them to go outside! Thank you for helping give my students a fun winter!”

  • Food for Thought

    Funded Sep 18, 2024

    Thank you so much for your donations! We received so many snacks!! The students are able to enjoy a snack every day. This helps to keep them focused and energized throughout the day.

    Many of our students come to school hungry and may not have enough to eat once they get home from school. I'm glad that I'm able to provide them with a snack every afternoon.

    Your donation meant that I did not have to ask parents to send in a snack every day for their child. It would have been too much for me to provide a daily snack all year for 20 students. Thank you again!”

  • Basic Classroom Needs

    Funded Aug 15, 2024

    Thank you for your generous donation to my classroom project. The supplies have been a big help in our class.

    The tissues and paper towels help us stay healthy and clean. They are much better than the brown paper towels the school gives us.

    The pens are great for projects and for grading their papers. We love all the various colors.

    The students just love these automatic pencil sharpeners. They keep all their pencils sharpened throughout the day. Since they're automatic I don't have to worry about them breaking.”

  • Current Events For Second Grade

    Funded Aug 14, 2024

    Thank you so much for donating to my project. The students love reading the time for kids magazine each week. The photographs capture their attention and the stories hold their attention.

    I love that it encourages them to have meaningful conversations with each other as they're reading each article. They're learning so much.

    We recently read about the upcoming election and the candidates. They've also learned about caves and different kinds of animals. Thank you again for supporting my classroom and students.”

  • Summer Send Off

    Funded Mar 7, 2024

    Thank you for supporting my project! I'll be giving all of these wonderful items to my students to take home for the summer.

    They'll have a nice book to read and a journal to write in about their summer adventures. They'll also be able to have some fun with their sand bucket and shovel, sunglasses, scratch pad, bubbles and squishy pet.

    Thank you again for your generosity! I know that my students will have a blast looking through their "goodie bags" to see all the fun things that were donated to them.”

  • Warm And Cozy For the Winter

    Funded Nov 19, 2023

    Thank you so much for donating to my winter project. My students loved getting the warm gloves, hats, scarves and blankets. The gift bags were great and I see my students still using them to carry things.

    The snacks are also great. I was able to get a good variety to keep them all happy. We have a snack time every afternoon and it keeps them from getting hungry during the day.

    Again, thank you for being supporters of my students. I wouldn't have been able to give them such fantastic things if it wasn't for you!!”

  • Flexible Seating And STEM Activities For More Focused Learning

    Funded Mar 15, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom project! The students and I are putting all of the supplies to great use!

    The yoga balls and chair bands are great for my fidgety children. They help them to stay focused while still being able to move their bodies. The desk chair for myself is great for when I'm working with small groups.

    The stem activities are great for my early finishers. They love building with the dominoes and magnatiles. They love to create something, then write a story about it.

    Thank you again for supporting me and my amazing students!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Dennis

My students live in an urban area. The majority of our school receives free lunch. The teachers are only given one hundred dollars a year to purchase supplies. This amount barely covers the basics that the children need for school. These children go home everyday hoping to have food on the table and an adult there to take care of them. Some are lucky to have a book or a game at home. For most of them, school is their safe and happy place.
