• My Teacher’s Watch Said “Stand!”

  Funded Sep 29, 2022

  I can't thank you enough for the standing desks. My students constantly use them throughout the day. Some use them to have a break from sitting. Others collaborate on them. I have one at each table grouping and it works out perfectly.

  The kids were beyond excited when the desks were placed in the room. We went over rules and procedures to use them and they have done great with it.

  Having flexible work options really does help every kind of learner. Donations from amazing people like you allow this to happen. Thank you so much for your time and generosity.”

• Folders Please!

  Funded Sep 29, 2022

  I am so excited about the folders you provided for our class. Every year we need so many folders to organize classwork, homework, and promotion portfolios. Many of our students could not bring in supplies this year, so these folders will definitely be used. We love giving them access to the promotion portfolios so they can see how much progress they make throughout the year in an organized way. We also teach students how important it is to be responsible and keep all of their work in the correct folder. These supplies and donations, that amazing donors like you provide, help classrooms function properly for the year. Thank you so much for your generosity.”

• Snack Attacks!

  Funded Sep 29, 2022

  I can't begin to describe how grateful I am for all of these snacks. My kids are always hungry and I know a quick bite always motivates them to complete their tasks. I have many kids that will even ask to bring something home because they don't have a lot of snacking options at home. In our class we do a "working snack" so that we don't take time away from instruction. The snacks you provided are perfect for quick bites to hold them over until lunch. Your generosity is so greatly appreciated. I have 25 little bellies that are beyond grateful. I hope you continue to support classrooms in need. We truly appreciate you.”

• Let’s “Stick” to Learning!

  Funded Jan 20, 2022

  Thank you so much for our magnetic resources. We have used the timer and small whiteboard everyday since it's been received. We have been using the magnetic math pieces in centers, as well as the sign boards. I love seeing the kids enjoy the donations. They are putting them to great use, which truly highlights why donations like yours are truly impacting our children. Proper/innovative resources allow teachers to try new things with different types of learners. It opens doors and peeks interest. Thank you for caring about education and getting our kids the tools they need to thrive.”

• On Point!

  Funded Sep 7, 2021

  My students are incredibly grateful for the pencils. They know that they will always have tools to work with in class. Many of them come from low-income families and they appreciate every single donation that comes their way. Thank you for supplying my students with the tools they need to be successful. It's because of donors like you that they have what they need. They use the pencils daily and have not had to purchase pencils all year! This is also a great relief to me! Thank you for your continued support.”

• Distance Learning Supplies

  Funded Aug 2, 2020

  We can't thank you enough for your generosity of supplies. We now have paper, a desk, snacks, cleaning supplies, learning tools, and snacks to eat! Thank you so much for thinking of our kids. We truly appreciate your generosity and hope you choose to support more classrooms in the future. When they say "It takes a village," I truly believe that donors like you are part of the village. Donors that know our schools don't have what they need and our budgets are beyond stretched. Thank you for your support!”

• Supplies for Success

  Funded Jul 27, 2020

  My students and parents were thrilled with your donation of supplies. Our families are really struggling and this was a huge gift! I was able to give them supplies so the families had to buy very little for the classroom. They felt so special on their first day of school with personal supplies ready for them. They also have some to use at home when they are remote. Since remote learning, many families are struggling to have what they need. With donations like yours, our families had less to worry about and could focus on keeping their families safe and healthy. Thank you for being supportive!”

• Pencils on Point!

  Funded Jan 23, 2020

  Thank you so much for your generosity. My students go through thousands of pencils each year and it impossible to keep up with the demand. I think they know that kindness promotes more kindness and they are doing their part to give back. Upon learning about your thoughtful gift, the students wrote compliment cards and spread them around the school. They are so grateful that they don't need to worry about finding a pencil to work with. It's the little things that make our lives easier as teachers and this donation has done that for us! Thank you so much!!!!”

• Paper...Hold the Rock and Scissors!

  Funded Dec 4, 2019

  I can't thank you enough for the paper you provided for our class. Our school has many students and we run very low on resources at times, especially paper. The students were amazed by your generosity when the supplies arrived. One student said, "wow those people are really showing their kindness." I couldn't agree more with him! When we take care of children and lead by example, not only do they notice, but they follow this example. Our students have asked us to share with other classes that have run low on paper, and we do pay it forward. Thank you for thinking of us, it means more than you know.”

• Flexible Seating #3

  Funded Jul 14, 2019

  After teaching for 17 years, you truly know what children need. The truth is they all need something different. The wobble seats from your donation help my students that wants to focus on their work, while moving at their seats. When students need to wobble, they exchange their chair for a wobble seat. It has worked out very well and the kids appreciate the change.

  Many students ask for a wobble seat for independent reading. I think they want to be recognized for sitting and reading for an extended period of time, but like to be able to have a little movement. Thank you for your generosity and thoughtfulness. It is truly appreciated.”
