  • Let's Talk Our Way Through Distance Learning!

    Funded Jul 10, 2020

    Thank you for this amazing opportunity to provide my students with the supplies they need in order to complete their distance learning. Many of our students are working from home in conditions that are noisy and not easy for a perfect learning environment. Thanks to your generous donation we are now able to provide our students with a take home kit that includes headphones, folders, glue and scissors to help them complete their home learning. Thanks to this donation it has helped to make distance learning a little easier and provide students with a more ideal working environment. Thank you for your support during these difficult times.”

  • Learning on the Go!

    Funded Jul 3, 2020

    Distance learning has made it difficulty for us to get technology to all of our students during the day. Additionally, social distancing makes it difficult to house all of our students in one room as we did previously. With this project we were able to take our computer cart and make it mobile! Now we are able to wheel laptops all around the school and provide students with the technology needed to engage in distance learning. Without this project and your generous donation, class time would be lost trying to accommodate all our students around the building. Thank you for taking the time to think about us and help during this time! We couldn't have done it without you!”

  • Basic Supplies for Social-Emotional Learning!

    Funded Aug 27, 2020

    During this time, it has been very difficulty to find feasible solutions that make distance learning possible. The apple pencil has made it possible for me to use my iPad to show students how to create their own interactive journals where students can express their feelings and demonstrate their learning. Supplies such as the pens and markers make it possible for me to provide a learning environment from my home that meets the needs of all students. With this supplies I am doing my best to create a learning scenario that mirrors what we would be doing in the classroom. Thanks to your generous donation I am now able to bring school home to each of our students and make this transition to distance learning a little easier. Thank you for your support!”

  • Charged to Learn!

    Funded Jun 25, 2020

    Due to the many concerns around social distancing we have found it difficult to find a place to store our laptops that can make it to all areas of the school. We also struggled in being able to find a place to charge them overnight so that they would be ready for students the following day. Thanks to your generous donation we have now found a way to make it easier for our students to have technology right at their finger tips.

    The students are excited to be designated the student who gets to put away the laptops daily. They are excited to be able to organize and connect the cables as our IT support as we call it. Thank you for giving us this opportunity that has made our learning environment during this time easier. We truly thank you for the support that you have shown us!”

  • Zooming Education From a Distance!

    Funded May 29, 2020

    Thanks to your help I am able to better set up and prepare a mobile learning station at home to assist my students through distant learning. It is not easy setting up a classroom from home and often times I have to move around frequently to get different resources. With this wireless keyboard, mouse and presenter remote I have been able to do just that. Along with this I have been able to supply two students with laptops and many students with folders to assist them in staying organized and on task with their distant learning.

    Our students are surprised when they receive any type of assistance especially when it is related to technology. It allows them to still feel connected to their school life while being able to remain at home. This has changed the way I am able to communicate with my students along with my ability to support them during these trying times. Thank you for your generous donation.”

  • Digital Resources for Digital Success

    Funded May 29, 2020

    Thank you for the ability to connect with my students during this very trying time. Many of our students went home without books or resources and are relying on my resources at home to best meet their learning needs. At this time the Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards are helping me to find useful resources that are making it possible for me to teach from home. The document camera allows me to share this resources and work on them with my students in real time.

    The students are excited to see me in person and be able to work on their assignments together while providing guidance and a visual representation of what we are doing in class. This will help us build and work together on more innovative tasks together that we can do all from the comfort of our homes. Thank you for this opportunity to take distant learning further and reach into the homes to help my students.”

Additionally, the students are eager to use the laptop to demonstrate their learning in new and creative ways. Students have completed newspaper articles and power point presentations.

  • Special Tech for Special Students

    Funded Jan 19, 2020

    Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity for my students. We recently have lost several of our laptops due to old age and just being broken from overuse. With this laptop we are able to begin having a technological center back in our differentiated instructional rotation.

    Our students have begun to use this laptop to create their newspaper articles and power point presentations to begin to show their new learning and advancements in technology. My students are showing up early to school to get there first opportunity to work with this new form of technology. Thanks to your generous donation it has begun to make a world of difference in my classroom.”

  • A Rainbow of Printing... FINALLY!

    Funded Oct 24, 2019

    Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity to finally be able to have a working printer within our classroom. For so long our students would complete projects and would have difficulty finding a place to actually print what they needed. Many of our students would be forced to go to big box stores and pay money they didn't have to complete their work. Thanks to your generous donation our students and families are able to save money and print their projects and research papers right here in our own classroom. The students get so excited to see their work in full color. It helps them to know that there are others out there who truly care for them and their well-being. Thank you”

  • Techie STEM Learners!

    Funded Oct 23, 2019

    Thank you so much for this opportunity to help my students be successful. Thanks to your generous donation we are now able to have four mobile student stations in our classroom. This has made completing group projects and research assignments that much easier! Without your help we would be trying to share one computer for thirty three students making learning very difficult. The students are so excited by the sleek design and their ability to engage in multi-media projects that showcase their learning. Students are even showing up early in the morning to complete their district requirements. Thank you for bring the world of technology into our classroom!”

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.
