  • Basic Instructional Supplies

    Funded Nov 13, 2022

    We are truly grateful for the instructional supplies that you have funded for us. I am the Interventionist and work with students in grades K-8th on Reading and Math skills. Because I am spread across several grade-bands, I get to share my instructional resources with various teachers and students. Oral reading fluency is one of our instructional foci across the building and we received fluency workbooks for teachers to use. We are able to make copies and use these resources on multiple students.”

  • Creative Expression!

    Funded Aug 31, 2022

    We were so excited to receive our supplies that we couldn't wait to open the boxes. We have been having arts and crafts without sufficient supplies. Students have come up with their own ideas on how to use their new supplies on classroom projects and in their after school programs. Students have the option to design and create so many new pieces. Students can create a variety of jewelry pieces that they can feature in their school-wide young entrepreneurs fair. We are so grateful for your kind donation and appreciate your generosity.”
