  • Note Taking on the Go!

    Funded Mar 2, 2022

    On behalf of my students I want to thank you for creating an opportunity that many students are unable to have. With your generous donation we are now able to create a mobile note taking system using one of our existing class tablets. This allows a basic computer system to be mobile and taken around the school. This now creates a technology based classroom any where in the school. Our students are learning that we live in a world where technology is everywhere and they are finally able to see it happen in their very own hands. Thank you so much for your kindness! We truly appreciate it!”

  • Digitally and Financially Literate

    Funded Nov 30, 2021

    Thank you for allowing us to have access to digital content. Ever since the pandemic we have had to to create various lessons from scratch that can be used for physical and virtual students. Resources such as Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards have helped to make this possible. This allows me to reach my students no matter where they are and provide them with effective instruction and resources. In this way, we are able to promote learning at all levels and from all areas of the world. This truly makes a difference in shaping the lives of students.”

  • Designing a Dream

    Funded Aug 12, 2021

    Thank you for your generous donation. Thanks to your kindness we are now able to create a multimedia station in which students are engaged and interacting with different forms of technology. The students are excited to be able to create their own designs and learn how to use media in more creative ways. We have seen that our students are excited to be working with technology in ways that go beyond the regular classroom and academic setting. We truly appreciate what you have done to make this a successful project for our students!”

  • Productive and Prepared Planning

    Funded Apr 18, 2021

    Your generous donation has now changed the way in which I am able to create effective and engaging lessons for my students. Due to the pandemic, our teaching model has shifted to virtual and thus so has our planning sessions. With your donation I am now able to be better prepared for our Zoom planning sessions. Your digital gift cards have allowed me to purchase digital resources that I use in my class daily. This has made a huge impact on my students achievement as I am able to provide them with timely and easily accessible resources. Thank you for helping us during this time!”

  • Bring Color To Our World!

    Funded Feb 24, 2021

    Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity. With the help of your generous donation we are able to bring our printer back to full function. This has enabled us to be able to now create beautiful and creative media projects that has allowed us to print and display them within our class. In addition, it allows us to have our own materials readily available to be printed and used within the classroom. This saves us from loss of instructional time or having to find others to print it for us. Thanks to you, we are able to create a wonderful classroom experience for our students.”

  • Socio-Emotional Journaling On The Go!

    Funded Dec 9, 2020

    Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity. Every day we find ourselves struggling to deal with the every changing world of this pandemic. As a result, we have found many of our students continuously quarantined and without the supplies and resources needed to continue their learning at home. With this laptop, I am now able to provide at least one of my students access to my classes from home. We need to reach out to our students and show them that we care and that education is important. Thank you for doing just that! You truly have made a difference.”

  • Basics Supplies for Social-Emotional ELearning!

    Funded Nov 23, 2020

    This has truly helped to shape our class. We now have a laptop to provide to our students when they are quarantined. Additionally, you have helped me to make a makeshift classroom anywhere that I am. During this pandemic, we have to find creative ways to keep education afloat. This project just does that. Thank for making these times a little easier to endure by providing my classroom with the necessary supplies to make it a fun and engaging learning environment. Without donors like you, education would be struggling even more during these times. Thank you.”

  • ELearning and IHearing for Virtual Learning!

    Funded Jan 8, 2021

    Thank you for this amazing opportunity. I have had numerous struggles because of the lack of equipment, technology and resources to full help my students. Being at home makes it difficulty to have all the appropriate resources needed to be a successful teacher during a pandemic. With your support that has now changed.

    Thanks to your speaker donation, now I am able to have my students hear videos with our new program. Additionally, your donation of the gift cards allows us to have access to a variety of resources. Thank you for your generous donation.”

  • Summer School, Summer Laptops

    Funded Sep 16, 2020

    During distance learning, we have had to make a major switch to the use of technology on a much more frequent basis. However, such reliance on technology can often leave us feeling stranded as computers tend to break or are not fully charged when needing to be used. As a result, we have had many students unable to participate in class lessons because of not having the correct equipment to engage in the lessons. Thanks to your generous donation, we have two computers that are readily available to us. This has helped to make our classroom more efficient and as a result make it a smooth transition for distant learning. Thank you for helping this project become a success.”

  • Presidential Printing!

    Funded Oct 12, 2020

    Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity and allowing us the chance to practice democracy within our classroom. All the buzz from the elections had students excited and wanting to choose their own class president. However, circumstances did not allow us to have any printer or ink available so that students could print out their campaign posters or even our ballot sheets.

    Thanks to your generous donations, our campus hallways were able to display campaign posters and students were able to learn more about each candidate. Thank you for giving us this opportunity to engage in this mock election along with other activities now thanks to having a printer available.”

My students come from homes that do not speak English and which are limited in the amount of resources they have to offer to their children. They use the media center as a place of refuge in which they can acquire the knowledge they do not receive at home. The students many times go home to empty houses in which they are forced to take care of themselves and at times their siblings. The parents depend on free resources such as our library and media center to access computers, printers, online capabilities and just simple sources of information such as our books.
