A Culture of Reading
Funded Dec 3, 2024Thank you so much for your generous support! I plan to use the supplies you provided to create a culture of reading in the school. As my students come down to checkout books, I will have the supplies available for them to get one as they checkout. They are very excited about getting them because I just made some off the copier. They were also marking their pages with a piece of tape. I don't want that because I don't want damages.
This is a big difference. Your contribution means a lot to me and my students! Thank you.”

Funded Oct 28, 2024Thank you so much for your generous support! I plan to use these reading journals my book club participates to keep track and reflect on what they are reading. I'm working to create a culture of reading at my school. I am using book clubs: students, staff, and parents, to stress the importance of reading and how its the foundation of everything.
I'm excited to unlock their potential and helping them with developing a love of reading by reflection. Your contribution means a lot to me and my students!”

Funded Sep 28, 2024Thank you so much for your generous support! I plan to use the supplies you provided to use the Jenga sets for my students to re-enforce lessons on Digital Citizenship. These sets will help gamify my lessons and engage my students more deeply with the content.

Your support has made this innovative approach possible, helping us create an environment where students can learn in a meaningful and exciting way.
Your commitment to education and willingness to invest in the futures of our students is truly inspiring. Thanks to your generosity, our students are better equipped to navigate the digital world responsibly and with integrity.

Funded Mar 23, 2024Thank you so much for donating these books for our Battle of the Books club. My students are very excited about reading this year. My goal with these books is to cultivate an atmosphere for the love of reading.
Students have already started reading the books over the summer and I can't wait for them to return to tell me about their books.
Again thank you for giving my students a chance to embrace to love of reading and expand their minds. I want them to read so much that they are able to research when they are told something. I'm building Critical Thinkers.”

The Battle Is On
Funded Mar 8, 2023The Battle is on is going to be a big hit with most of my Battle of the Books students. We averaged reading 80-100 pages between each meeting, and came in ready to talk about what we read - from opinions on the characters and plot to discussing predictions of what was coming next. Students are very excited about receiving these books so they can prepare for the competition.
We thank you so very much for the opportunity to strengthen our reading and collaboration skills. Again we thank you and greatly appreciated your donation.”

Empathy For The Homeless
Funded Sep 20, 2022Thank you for all of your donations. We are glad that you believed in us enough to trust us with your money to buy the resources we needed to make kits for the homeless. These young men enjoy the reading and discussions from the book then they worked very hard at putting together the kits for the homeless. When we took a field trip for them to deliver the final project they were excited about having the opportunity to hand out what they made to the homeless. On our discussion back from the resource Center the gentleman stated that this was a humbling experience that they would never forget. Thank you for giving them this experience.”

My students will greatly appreciate the added technology to already non-technology activities thank you. This device will make my adaptive kids very excited. They will get their read-aloud books and be able to see it on the big screen. Students love pictures and being able to see the pictures of the picture books as I read them to them will be added attraction. Again thank you so much for the document camera which will be used greatly amongst the adaptive students doing their read alouds.”
