Sharp Pencils = Sharp Minds
Funded Mar 20, 2014The local people of Hawaii strive to live with aloha. This means that their actions communicate a mutual regard and affection for mankind by extending a warmth in caring with no obligation for return. Your selflessness taught my students a lesson in aloha. They were overwhelmed by your generosity. I had to explain the concept of donation more than once because they had a hard time comprehending the fact that total strangers had given them brand new pencil sharpeners. They are very thankful for both your gift of sharpeners as well as your gift of aloha.”

Science and Engineering Fair
Funded Oct 29, 2013It is with sincere gratitude that my students thank you for donating materials that will allow them to enter the state Science and Engineering Fair. They walked into a classroom that had no art supplies on the first day of school. Imagine their excitement when packages full of paints and pencils began to arrive! "Miss, they sent us the good markers!" They were referring to Sharpies versus the off-brand, black markers that quickly run out of ink that I had found at the back of some closet before school began.
They diligently created posters with the theme of Mathematics using the materials you so kindly provided during the week before holiday break.
This project was a huge boost to both morale and learning in the classroom. The students have not had much opportunity to create due to the lack of art materials. You provided my students my students to reach the pinnacle of higher-order thinking skills. My students and I are so very thankful.”
