  • Can I Have a Snack?

    Funded Nov 17, 2023

    Thank you so much! Every single day without fail we have multiple students coming to our office for a snack. For most, it replaces a missed breakfast or a treat to keep them going until dinner with their families. We very much need to keep this party going! If you would like to support us again, we would very much appreciate it. We are very grateful for your kindness.

    Our student's scores are improving and they are more able to focus on what is most important, their education. Their stomachs are full and their brains are powered up! All thanks to your selflessness.”

  • Cough! Cough!

    Funded Nov 19, 2023

    Thank you so much for supporting our students in this tricky time of need. We are really working on being in school every single day. Attendance is actually one of the main priority's within Baltimore City Schools. Without consistent attendance children are not able to receive instruction. When they miss school they are not able to receive interventions. The gifts you have given our students will help out students come to school on a more consistent basis. These materials will last us all year, we are so thankful for your support.”

  • Help Us Move!

    Funded Aug 6, 2023

    Wow! This project was funded so quickly! Thank goodness for that!! We NEEDED these movement tools. So many children are classified as having ADHD within the public school system. They need to move, but there is not often an opportunity to do so in a safe and quiet way.

    The fidget tools and floor decals have absolutely done the trick. Unfortunately one of the items I requested was not available, the silver lining is that we needed a clock in our classroom. Because of your support, we are now able to keep track of the time and stay on track. Thank you so much for helping us move in a safe way!”

  • A Fresh Start

    Funded Jun 27, 2023

    My students feel so special using these materials. We are never in need now. I also have the opportunity to share the wealth. Because of your support, I was able to provide two new teachers with materials to help them support their students. They were so thankful and I believe they were able to start their year off feeling more organized and confident.

    Because we have these materials I am now also able to individualize my students' programming by organizing their materials and customizing their academic experience in a way I have never been able to before. This has not only improved my teaching but also improved my mental health. Organization is self-care. Thank you for supporting me to be the best educator I can be.”

My students need to move! How can I expect my students to process anything I am teaching if their brains are screaming at them to get moving? Science has proven time and time again that children truly should be on the move. Students can pedal while they participate in regular classroom activities, and since the pedals are essentially noiseless, they don't interfere with classroom instruction or activities Mini Exercise Bike's will give my student's the ability to move while they are learning. The students can pedal while they read, rotating through stations so everyone gets a chance. Research shows that exercise helps stimulate the brain. If the my student's are working and exercising, it helps them learn better. Help me bridge the gap between research and practice, help me give my students this ability.
