  • We've Got the Write Stuff!

    Funded May 26, 2017

    Thank you so much for funding this amazing project for my students with special needs. I was so excited (as were my students) to gain these supplies and I look forward to continuing to use them for years to come. They were able to use the supplies that I received as part of this project to become stronger writers! The supplies supported their growth and helped them work on their IEP skills as well as grade level skills, which in turn supported their writing development. Thank you again for your generous donations!”

  • Flexible Seating for Super Students!

    Funded Sep 28, 2017

    Thank you so much for your donations towards this project! This project has helped me transform my classroom in so many ways and it has helped my students become so much more independent. My classroom has so much more space now due to the fact that there aren't bulky tables and chairs. My students are able to find spaces that work for them, where they are comfortable and ready to learn. My students now find my room to be a safe space where we can challenge ourselves without being stressed out about it.

    Thank you once again for helping me create a safe flexible space for my students!”

  • Supplies for Super Students!

    Funded Mar 29, 2017

    Thank you so much for your donations to my classroom. Your donations have helped me be able to continue to create an inviting, exciting and hands-on safe space for my students where learning is celebrated! We have been able to continue to create amazing interactive notebooks with the rolling double sided tape. The tape has also helped us be able to work faster and not waste as much glue (which is always a bonus in an elementary classroom)! We have been able to replace our much used dry erase markers and have been able to add some more color to our work with the colored dry erase markers! Thank you for your very generous donations!”
