  • Seating and More That We Will Adore

    Funded Jan 31, 2022

    I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of chairs to our classroom. Your kindness has made a significant difference in our learning environment. The students are thrilled with the new chairs and can't stop talking about how comfortable they are. Your contribution has truly enhanced their learning experience, and for that, we are incredibly grateful. Thank you for your generosity and support. We will never forget wonderful people like you.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Allie McGuire

  • Hip Hip Hooray, We Want to Be Comfortable All Day!

    Funded Sep 30, 2019

    My students and I are beyond excited to be able to sit comfortably to read and use the leap pads on a daily basis. They are excited to learn each and every day! This is a great incentive for my students. I have been teaching for 18 years and this is the first time I have seen my students so excited to be able to read a story in our reading center. Every morning, they are raising their hands because they are excited to be the first to sit in our new bean bags and stools to read a story on their level. This makes learning exciting and interesting. We would like to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Allie McGuire

  • Hip Hip Hooray, Book Help Us Learn Each Day!

    Funded Sep 8, 2017

    Thank you so much for your generous contributions. My children are beyond excited to have math books to work in. We are not only able to have our own math books but we now have construction paper, glue and scissors to create educational projects to make learning fun! I can't express to you how thankful we are.

    In the past, my class was unable to do a lot of art projects since we did not have the supplies. We are now able to have fun and learn at the same time. I can't wait to prepare fun projects for my class! Thanks again from all of my heart!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Allie McGuire

    This classroom project was brought to life by The Henry and Marilyn Taub Foundation and one other donor.
One area my students struggle the most with is having the supplies to create fun and exciting projects that go along with the common core curriculum that I teach. All of the items I am requesting will assist them in making learning fun and enjoyable. I love seeing their smiling faces when they successfully create a project that goes hand in hand with our curriculum. For example, when reading the Kissing hand, we love to make a matching raccoon along with a writing piece to help connect to prior knowledge. Also, fun and exciting games like Connect Four will allow the kids to work with one another and learn that games are about having fun and not about winning or losing. They will learn the concept of number sense at the same time. Please assist us! We will be ever so grateful. My Art students are divided into 4-5 groups, each named after a color. These color coded caddies and trays will make it possible to give my students all the supplies they need for a project in just a few seconds. They will also help my students cleanup more efficiently, saving valuable class time! Organization is essential for students to be successful. These organizational items will help my students to get their supplies faster and make clean up time more efficient, allowing them to spend more of their class time working on their projects. My students need art caddies to organize and store art materials. My art budget has been drastically cut in the past year. Without the help of generous donors, we can not afford even the most basic supplies. Please help me to get my students the supplies we need for a successful art program.
