Funded Aug 28, 2024Thank you SO much for all of the puzzles that you donated to my class! My students were incredibly excited to know that they will be able to use these puzzles during independent work time.
Solving puzzles develops eye-hand coordination, promotes problem- solving and decision making skills while also improving fine motor skills; all of which are extremely important at this age.
Your kindness truly helps us create a more engaging and enriching environment for our children. Thank you for believing in the power of education and for helping us make learning fun!”

Funded May 10, 2024Thank you so much for donating the beautiful blue beanbag to my class! It was delivered early this morning and now, thanks to you, my students have a comfortable seating area where they can sit and read.
Investing in the aesthetics of our classroom demonstrated to my students that their learning environment is valued and respected. They were beyond excited when they saw the beanbag for the first time and everyone wanted to use it. Fortunately, they are very respectful and kind children who understand the importance of sharing and taking turns.
I am so thankful to you for your kindness and for your commitment to public education.”

Love the Skin You're In!
Funded May 10, 2024Thank you so much for your generous donation. My students were incredibly excited to see the unopened boxes of materials.
Today, we opened the shatterproof mirrors and used them in class during our writing time. The mirrors were especially helpful for my English language learners because they were able to see the position of their lips, teeth and lips and make any needed adjustments as I modeled proper position for each letter sound.
Tomorrow, we will begin our self-portrait activity and I just know that the students are going to enjoy the entire unit.
Thank you for your kindness.”

Money Matters
Funded Oct 28, 2023I am thrilled to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous contribution towards our kindergarten classroom. Your donation of the special "Teacher Chair" will have a profound impact on our students' learning journey.
With your support, we are now equipped to enhance student engagement and foster a culture of active participation in our classroom. The "Teacher Chair" will serve as a symbol of empowerment, allowing our young learners to take on the role of educators and share their knowledge with their peers.
Through fun and meaningful activities such as games, songs, literature exploration, and hands-on STEAM projects, our students will have the opportunity to develop their communication skills and become confident leaders in their own right. Your generosity will enable us to create an inclusive learning environment where every child feels valued and encouraged to share their unique ideas and perspectives.
I am particularly excited about the impact the "Teacher Chair" will have on our STEAM lessons. By showcasing their engineering designs and explaining their creative process, our 5-year-olds will not only strengthen their understanding of concepts but also inspire their classmates to think critically and problem-solve collaboratively.
Once again, thank you for your unwavering support of our classroom. Your kindness has opened doors to endless possibilities for our students, and we are incredibly grateful for your investment in their future.”

Funded Mar 27, 2024I am writing to express our sincerest thanks for your generous donation towards providing dry-erase boards for our kindergarten class. Your support means the world to us and will make a significant difference in the educational journey of our young artists.
With the addition of these whiteboards, our students will have the opportunity to explore their creativity and plan their art masterpieces in an engaging and interactive way. Being able to use the whiteboards to practice simple drawings and designs is crucial at this stage of their development. In kindergarten, they are learning about the basic strokes to draw people, places, and animals, and these resources will undoubtedly enhance their learning experience.
Your contribution not only provides tangible tools but also instills a sense of encouragement and support in our students. Knowing that there are kind-hearted individuals like you who believe in their potential fuels their enthusiasm for learning and growth. Your generosity will have a lasting impact on their education and inspire them to reach for new heights.
Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and generosity. Your donation has made a difference, not only in our classroom but in the lives of each and every student who will benefit from these whiteboards.”

Funded Mar 27, 2024Your recent donation of whiteboard markers and erasers has made an incredible impact on our students' learning experiences, particularly during our art lessons.
Your thoughtful contribution means more than just supplies; it symbolizes the support and belief you have in our mission to provide a rich and engaging education for our young learners. With your donation, our students can now explore their creativity freely, expressing themselves through art in ways they never thought possible.
As our budding artists pick up those markers and erase any inhibitions, they are not just drawing lines and shapes, but they are also building confidence, fostering imagination, and developing crucial fine motor skills. Your generosity has opened doors to endless possibilities for their growth and development.
On behalf of our entire kindergarten class, I want to express our deepest appreciation for your kindness and generosity. Your support is not only felt in the classroom but also in the hearts of each and every student whose lives you have touched. Thank you for being a beacon of hope and inspiration for our young artists.”

Funded Jan 8, 2024Thank you so much for your generosity! My students were very excited when I shared the items you donated. Already, the paper cutter has allowed me to cut various types of paper into a wide variety of sizes, allowing students to have colorful materials needed for various hands on activities. For example, in math, they have used paper cutouts to demonstrate addition and subtraction stories. Hands on activities allow students to gain a deeper understanding of concepts taught.
Some students require additional support with fine motor skills and I have been able to create activities that help facilitate that as well.
The sharpies and highlighters have been used in a wide variety of ways, including creating engineering designs.
I cannot say enough about the motivational stickers! They have served as positive reinforcement which encourages my students to try their personal best always.
Thank you so much for your support.”
