    This message is written to express my sincere gratitude for you recent generosity. Your recent donation of the essential items for my classroom. The snacks have been helpful in affording me the opportunity to feed a student who expresses hunger. The snacks are also used as an incentive for my students. The clorox wipes are used to sanitize any surface within the classroom. This is done to promote a healthy and clean environment for the students and me. The dry erase markers are utilized by the students as they work collaborative using their whiteboards.

    All of the essential items have had a positive affect on my students' progress. Bering able to feed a hungry student is rewarding yet necessary for them to be able to focus and be engaged in the instruction.

    Again, your generosity is greatly appreciated!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Benjamin-Lucas

  • Lucas- Cool Classroom!

    Funded May 24, 2024

    Your generous donations helped to provide a cool classroom for my middle school students. My classroom is located on the top floor of a very old building and we do not have air condition. During the warmer months the temperature in the classroom becomes unbearable. It becomes almost impossible for the students to concentrate on the instruction.

    With your generous donations of the fans, my students will now enter a classroom that is cool and comfortable. The warm temperatures will no longer be a barrier to their productivity. My students deserve every opportunity to be successful and your generosity will help.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Benjamin-Lucas

  • Snacks Please

    Funded Oct 4, 2023

    You generous donations to my students have been greatly appreciated. The snacks that you afforded me to purchase for my students have made a positive impact with my students. I have seen an improvement with both their attentiveness as well as their academic effort. Some of my students come to school in need of food. While teaching, I am able to distribute snacks to the students without compromising the educational program. By doing this, my students are able to partake in the snacks as well as stay focused on their academics.

    Thanks again for your donations!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Benjamin-Lucas

  • Our Room

    Funded Sep 20, 2023

    My students and are extremely grateful for you generous donations. With your donations I was able to purchase a set of headphones. the headphones are used by my students as they work on the digital school based reading intervention program. The headphones allow the students to work without the neighboring distractions.

    I was also able to purchase two seat for the reading corner. The seats allow those students who are reading for pleasure or completing an independent reading assignment within this area to do with comfort.

    Lastly, with your donations I purchased a bluetooth speaker that I am able to pair with the Smartboard. This speaker allows the students to hear the educational programs that are streamed into the classroom.

    Your generosity is greatly appreciated.”
