  • Mission to Obtain Books for Our Classroom Library

    Funded Dec 4, 2024

    I appreciate everything you do to contribute to improving classrooms in public education. My class continues to benefit from donors like you. Throughout several projects, I have added various items to my classroom, such as flexible seating, positive behavior rewards, ink for the classroom printer, books for the classroom library, and several others. I am so grateful to everyone who donates to my projects. These items are appreciated in the classroom.

    Thank you again for supporting my classroom. The students are enjoying the books tremendously.”

  • In Desperate Need of Books for Classroom Library

    Funded Aug 27, 2024

    I cannot express how thankful the students were to receive the books for our classroom library. The students could not wait to have the opportunity to look through the variety of books that were funded through this project. The addition to the library allowed our students to become excited about reading. They could not wait until it was silent reading time.

    Our class is very thankful for your donation. I promised you that you placed smiles on a lot of students' faces. Thank you again for donating books to build our classroom library. Everything you did is very much appreciated.”

  • Snacks for Students

    Funded Aug 27, 2024

    Thank you for helping fund this project to provide students with snacks. I work in a district where over 50% of the students receive free lunch. Your generosity lets them earn snacks by purchasing them in our classroom store. They can also get a pop tart if they arrive late to school and cannot get a bagged breakfast.

    Without your assistance, I would not be able to offer the variety of snacks I have available to my students.

    Thank you again for your donation to help get this project fully funded. Our class appreciates everything you do for us.”

  • Help Save the Printer: We Need Ink

    Funded Aug 27, 2024

    Thank you so much for funding our project "Help Save the Printer." You provided ink for our classroom printer so we could print a master copy of a worksheet before heading down to the copier room. This frees a lot of time so teachers aren't running back and forth to get a master copy to print.

    Other fifth-grade teachers utilize my classroom printer whenever they need to print something. It makes everyone's life easier.

    The laminator came out at the perfect time because the old one stopped working. It seems to be anti-jam so hopefully, it will last longer than our previous one.

    Thanks again for everything!”

  • Mission to Accomplish: Class Set of Headphones

    Funded Apr 17, 2024

    First off, thank you for your contribution to this project. With your financial support, students in fifth-grade were able to receive a pair of headphones to use in the classroom setting. These headphones will provide students with the opportunity to have audio playing while they are utilizing their Chromebooks. They will be able to listen to audio books and browse educational sites without disrupting their neighbors. These headphones will make a HUGE IMPACT in the classroom. Can you imagine 20 Chromebooks all playing sound at the same time? Thank you for supporting this project to provide headphones for all students in fifth grade.”

  • Help Save the Printer, We Need Ink

    Funded Nov 17, 2023

    Thank you so much for donating toward this project. As I received the notification that this project was funded , I also received an alert on my printer that they ink cartlidge need to be replaced. This prject was funded just in time to allow our class the opportinuty to print items from our classroom. This is a great stress releiver for myself as well because I am able to print a master copy before heading to the copy room. Majority of the time, when you print something to the copy room it doesn't end up being in the copy room. So you can imagine the huge relief I have when I am able to bring my own master down with me. Thank you again for donation!”

The upcoming school year is approaching quickly and students will not able to share classroom supplies due to the pandemic our country is currently experiencing. Please assist in providing students with individual supplies to help stop the spread of Covid-19 within the classroom. This project will allow for every student to receive a pencil pouch to keep their supplies separate from others. Inside the pencil pouches will be individual pencil sharpeners, which will help eliminate students visiting the classroom pencil sharpener. Let's come together to provide the best outcome possible for these students as they return to school during these challenging times.
