Back to School!
Funded Jul 12, 2021The materials that you so generously donated to our classroom is going to make a great impact on the students. Education has made a huge shift with more students opting to learn remotely; however, the students that come in for the hybrid learning in person are benefitting from the materials provided. They love having the nice, new, shiny materials to further enhance their learning. We are so appreciative of your generosity to our class and will continue to make good use of these supplies on a daily basis”

Funded Aug 12, 2021Thank you so, so much for helping to fund this fun project.
Think back to the last time someone put a smiley face on your breakfast tab or put a heart in the foam in your morning latte. It made your day, right? Let's face it - it's the little things - and first grade is no different.
My students are so motivated by positive words, little trinkets - and recognition. Your donation helped to fill our prize box so that students are able to get those little trinkets more often to mark their amazing successes!”

From Seed to Plant
Funded Apr 11, 2021Thank you so much for your donations to our terrarium project! This morning everyone was so excited to create their terrariums. We learned about the history of terrariums and the reasons for each layer of soil, carbon, gravel, and decorative rocks. When we mixed the carbon with the soil one student said it looked like, "chocolate chip cookies!" We learned about botanists and talked about the study of plants and their proper care. I am thrilled that my students get to learn about taking care of the environment and plants and their needs in such a hands on meaningful way. I know that the caring for their little plants will also bring some joy and happiness to their lives at such an isolating time. Thank you for bringing this special project to my students and me!”
