• Financial Literacy Assist

  Funded Nov 23, 2021

  Thank you so very much for your kindness and generosity and for taking an interest on our kiddos' academic success! My students have a thirst for incorporating technology into their daily lives. Thanks to your contributions they have been able to do so. They learn best when engaging in creating projects, presentations and taking advantage of the many educational online resources available to them through our school system.

  The new technology has enabled our students to perform research, create presentations and engage in a multitude of online reading, math and science resources available through our school system.”

• Snacks and More!

  Funded Mar 2, 2022

  It was my goal to establish a much-needed snack and incentive corner in order to provide a healthy snacks to my students between breakfast and lunch on a daily basis. Having a snack between meals prevents you from becoming so hungry that you reach for unhealthy junk food. Many of my students do not have a healthy breakfast at home so they tend to start getting hungry before lunchtime. Our new area has provided opportunities for my kiddos engage in healthy snacking as needed. Thank you for taking an interest in our project and our kiddos. Thanks to you I have been able to hand out a daily snack to my students during our recess time. This has helped students to stay on task and focused as they engage in their educational endeavors.”

• Promoting Racial Equity through STEAM Activities

  Funded Sep 27, 2021

  The goal of this project was to promote and encourage the emotional health and mental well-being of my students as we take part in remote learning due to the present-day health crisis. Thanks to your kind generosity, our project has become a reality and we will begin the school year participating in social emotional journaling breaks. I plan to provide my students with the materials and opportunity to engage in daily social emotional learning (SEL) skills acquisition by engaging in fun journaling activities daily. These skills are foundational for social and emotional well-being and are of paramount importance during these trying times. Thanks to your contributions, the students have the basic scissors and other supplies that have helped them. Thank you for taking an interest in our project and our kiddos education and well-being. You are appreciated!"”
