  • Summer Books for Preschoolers!

    Funded Apr 9, 2025

    Thank you so much for your incredible generosity and support! Because of your kind donations, each of my students will be heading into summer with a special bag filled with their favorite snacks, fun activities, and essential items—all thoughtfully chosen with them in mind.

    Your contributions towards applesauce, juice, goldfish crackers, and other goodies will bring so many smiles. And thanks to the watercolor paints, every student will have the chance to get creative over the break. I'm also deeply grateful for the water bottles—we're heading into the hot season here in northern Virginia, and keeping my little ones hydrated is so important.

    These simple things mean the world to them—and to me. Thank you for helping us end the school year on a joyful note and for reminding my students that there are people out there who care deeply about their happiness and well-being.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. H

  • Preschoolers Need Printer Ink!

    Funded Feb 20, 2025

    I cannot thank you enough for your incredible support! As a special needs preschool teacher, I spend countless hours creating visual supports, schedules, behavioral tools, and adapted books to help my students thrive. Your generosity in providing printer ink and binding spines means that I can continue making these essential materials in a way that best supports my students' learning and communication needs.

    The ability to print in color makes a world of difference for my students, helping them better understand language and express themselves. With your help, they will have the visual supports they need to navigate their day with confidence and engage with adapted books that bring our lessons to life.

    Your kindness is making a real impact, and I am truly grateful. Thank you for believing in my students and helping create a classroom full of opportunities for learning and growth!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. H

  • Preschoolers Learn About Pets!

    Funded Jan 27, 2025

    Thank you so much for your kindness and support! Your generous donation will bring so much joy and hands-on learning to my students as we explore the world of pets. With the play veterinarian kit, my students will get to step into the role of caregivers and learn all about the important work veterinarians do.

    The fish tank materials will allow each student to create their own mini aquarium, sparking creativity and a deeper understanding of how to care for aquatic pets. And the sensory bottles—oh, how excited my students will be! They absolutely loved making them earlier this year, and I know they will be thrilled to create new pet-themed ones.

    Your generosity is making a meaningful impact on my classroom, helping my students learn through play and discovery. Thank you for making this possible!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. H
