  • Help Us Create a Cozy Learning Space!

    Funded Aug 9, 2024

    I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your generous contributions to fund the carpet for my kindergarten classroom. Your support means the world to me and my students.

    Thanks to your kindness, our classroom is now a more comfortable and welcoming space where young minds can gather, learn, and grow. The new carpet will not only add warmth and color to our room but also create a cozy environment that will encourage creativity and collaboration.

    Thank you again for your incredible generosity. You've made a lasting impact on our classroom, and we are truly grateful!”

  • Rolling With the Gnomies!

    Funded Jun 17, 2023

    We are loving our new backpack rack. They could not be more thrilled to have a space to hang their backpack and not clutter up our classroom. When we received our materials, the students were so excited and loved watching it get put together by our custodian. It was a very exciting time. to have the backpack cart keeps our room free from clutter and everyone has their own space on the back pack rack, so it's very organized and everyone knows where to put their things. It has definitely been a game changer. We cannot thank you enough.”

  • Print Me With Your Best Shot

    Funded Aug 31, 2023

    Thank you so incredibly much for your generosity not only to me but my students as well. To be able to print right inside our classroom from a color printer changes everything. Black-and-white printing is great but sometimes you just need that pop of color that makes such a difference. This is not possible without donore like you. Thank you again.”

  • Getting Crafty With It!

    Funded Sep 13, 2022

    We cannot thank you enough. My students are getting to use the construction paper for different projects, such as their artwork where they drew nutcrackers, they made their own stockings, and were able to make gingerbread men. As well, we got to partake in some writing where students were able to write about what they would do if they were stuck in a snow globe. All this made possible by your generous donation of construction paper. As well students are able to create memories with their fifth grade buddies by making handprint penguins and we were able to use our googly eyes for that. The arts and crafts that we do are endless and with this donation you make that possible. Thank you again.”

  • Dry Racks For Our Amazing Art Work

    Funded Apr 12, 2022

    The dry racks we received have been amazing. We have been able to complete more art projects due to the space on the racks. The students have been so happy to have so much art time, it has really been awesome. When we first got the dry racks the students were so excited. Our other racks were falling apart, so these have made a huge difference in our classroom. We have completed a few pages of our "Zero the Hero" book as well as apple art, our fall scarecrows, and many other fun projects. We can't wait to complete many more projects. We can't thank you enough.”

  • Easy and Accessible Learning With an Easel!

    Funded Apr 7, 2022

    We cannot thank you enough for your contribution to our accessible easel Donor's Choose project. The students and I are using our easel every day. Students are able to come up to the easel and manipulate items and/or write on the easel.

    The students were so excited to receive their new easel and couldn't wait to start putting our work or manipulating items on it. Having our easel has increased their participation and engagement in lessons. We cannot thank you enough for your generosity and we will continue to get great use out of our easel.”

  • Flex Seating

    Funded Mar 5, 2022

    We cannot thank you enough for your contribution to our flex seating Donor's Choose project. The students and I are using our flex seating every day. Students are able to choose a different seat that works best for them. Some have some wiggles and need to move around or bounce in some of the chairs that you all provided. It is a way for them to move their bodies without being disruptive and they can stay engaged at their seats.

    The students were so excited to receive their new seating options and couldn't wait to try them. Having seat options have increased their focus and engagement in lessons. We cannot thank you enough for your generosity and we will continue to get great use out of our seating options.”
