Here We Go Knights, Here We Go!
Funded Nov 16, 2021Thank you for your continued support of our program, students, and school. We would only be able to do what we do with the generous donations from this team. The excitement on my student's faces was priceless, and the materials came in. Thanks to you, the cheerleaders now get to look good and feel good! We work hard to ensure that our athletes understand the importance of being team members and leaders in and out of school. The jackets will help them stand out as a team as they lead their peers positively. Thank you again for making us matter at Mater!”

Funded Nov 2, 2021I truly appreciate the opportunity you provided for my students. The undershirts were just what we needed to look and feel amazing for our competitions. Many of my families cannot pay for the fees associated with sports. The gracious donors made their dreams a reality. The donations helped cut down the cost and expenses for our families. The girls were beyond excited to receive the cheer items. The excitement was priceless as we cheered when we opened the boxes. The undershirts helped give them the confidence to rock this last competition. We placed first place in the Charter school league. Thank you for supporting”

We Have Mater Spirit!
Funded Dec 5, 2020I can not thank you enough for the generous donations that helped bring this project to life! The excitement on the girl's face was priceless as we opened their brand new shiny poms and speaker. They are now able to perform and practice with equipment that allows them a whole new experience. My cheerleaders bring a sense of hope to our community! Their positive attitudes and dedication promote a sense of community and positivity that is needed as we are challenged daily with the effects COVID has put on our families.”

This classroom project was brought to life by DICK'S Sporting Goods Foundation - Sports Matter and 4 other donors.Make it Mater with Mats at Mater!
Funded Aug 2, 2019I can't even begin to express my gratitude for the funding of this project! Our cheerleaders at Mater Academy were beyond excited to receive their new mats. We can practice our routine, tumbling, and stunts safely! We are finally able to take this team to the next level with stunts and tumbling. Two of our team members are hit their back handspring this week!
As a Title 1 school, most of our students are not able to afford to go to a private gym to learn tumbling skills. We are also practicing proper placement for our upcoming competition routine. We previously taped off mock sections of mats. Having the equipment give these girls an opportunity of a lifetime.
We are truly grateful for the generous donations and our unlimited possibilities and opportunities that you have given to my team. We will be using our mats every day. Thank you again!”

Funded Nov 3, 2018Thank you so much for donating to our classroom project! The portable speaker is just what we needed! Our girls love being able to perform at halftime. Preparing for competition and games would be impossible without our new speaker!
We have 15 very talented cheerleaders that put everything into what they do! These girls come to practice every day, motivated and ready to learn and perfect the material that is taught. Whether it's a game or competition, we are going to do our best to prepare for the upcoming events using our new speaker.
I couldn't have provided my cheerleaders with this opportunity without your help. I cannot thank you enough for donating your time and money! This organization has been a blessing to my cheer team for many years and I'm grateful for people like you who are a part of it!"”

Funded Dec 20, 2017Words cannot express how excited my students and I were when our materials for this project arrived! There are no words to describe the impact Donors Choose has had on my classroom and continues to have. It wouldn't be possible without donors like you all, so thank you!
My students participate in centers twice daily! Once for literacy and again for math. They love to play games! I think it's important to let kids be kids and keep the fun factor in learning! With games like the ones you donated, my students don't even realize how much they are learning because they are having so much fun playing! I love to look out in my classroom and see my students laughing, engaged, and learning! It's a joy to be able to share this time with them in a crucial part of their academic and social development. The magna tiles are a huge hit! Kids can build design and learn geometry! They also love their dry erase alphabet writing centers!
Thank you again for your support and making little dreams come true!”

Minds in Motion
Funded Mar 9, 2016We are so thankful for you and your donation to our classroom. It felt like Christmas morning when our boxes arrived. Most of the children in my classroom have never seen so many gifts in their entire life. We opened the boxes together and the students looked at the game boxes. I explained to the kids that I would have everything set up and ready to go the next day. Well, the following day finally came and I had a parent come in and ask what in the world was going on because her little boy did not want to be late. The anticipation was finally over and the kids got to play with our new math games. Puzzles, games, math manipulatives covered our floor and the sound of happy, giggly five - year - olds filled the room. We can't thank you enough for your contribution! These children will very likely remember this moment forever!”

Go Math, Go Math....Go Math All The Way!!
Funded Mar 22, 2013I want you to know how appreciative I am for the donations given to fund my project. We use our new math games each and every day. The new games have provided my students with a really fun, hands-on way of learning! These games reinforce the skills I have taught throughout the year. The kids have thoroughly enjoyed them.
I defiantly believe that math can take children anywhere! Our school has recently adopted a new and rigorous math program. My students love learning and love math!
I am so thankful for your donations and your inspiration to see my students be all that they can be!”
