• Snacks for Students

  Funded Jan 15, 2025

  Thank you for your support of snacks for my students and classroom! My students were SO excited to see their new snacks. The vast majority of my students do not have family members with extra income to send snacks to school, so I provide a daily snack to my students. At times, this can be a bit of a financial burden, so your support is truly a blessing. We are excited to have a nice variety of snacks to choose from that are tasty and healthy. Thank you again - your support does not go unnoticed!”

  Thank you! My young learners just love listening to read alouds! The books provided in this project support our school-wide character traits. Teaching these skills and concepts through books is such a great way for my students to understand and connect with our learning.

• STEM for Students

  Funded Jan 12, 2024

  My students love our end of the day innovation time. This is a time where my students think and create in new and exciting ways. One way we do this is to incorporate STEAM activities into this time. All of these new materials gave big "oohs and aahs" as we opened and discovered our new additions to innovation time. My students were very excited to see all of the different ways they can use these new and FUN materials. Thank you for thinking of our classroom. My students work hard each day so we have time to participate in STEAM!”
