  • Mrs. Jenkins' Calculating and Beyond Project

    Funded Nov 15, 2024

    I am overwhelmed with your generosity. Thank you so very much! My students will be so excited to have access to their own calculator.

    The pencils are in high demand in a middle school math class. I am extremely grateful for all of your help. I can't wait for the kids to see the new supplies.”

    With gratitude,

  • See, Write, and Correct = Learning

    Funded Aug 18, 2023

    Thank you so much. The students love the new paddle whiteboards. They especially love that they can use the backside for plotting and find slope, because of the coordinate grid being on there.

    We use them almost everyday to show understanding and immediate feedback can be given. They also love to race each other. It has brought a level of competitiveness and fun into learning.

    Also having the expo markers and erasers here at the students fingertips has made it so much easier. Most students do not have these supplies and are grateful for us having them here for them.

    Again we are extremely grateful for all of the supporters. It's been amazing.”

  • Materials for My Students: A new Teacher's Dream

    Funded Aug 1, 2014

    I am just amazed everyday when I walk in what a difference the supplies given to us so generously have impacted my students educational lives. When I first heard about this company, I was a little hesitant about asking, because I didn't know how it would be perceived by my fellow teachers, but I have to same that I looked at the students I was serving and decided that I didn't care. The students deserved any and everything I could do for them, and if that meant asking donors for supplies, so be it.

    When the supplies got here, the students were so excited. They came back to my classroom during their lunch and helped unpack and label the supplies. They take pride in the fact that the calculators, white boards, dry erase markers and erasers belong to the 6th grade math class, and only them. They take great care of them and make sure they go back in their places when they are done using them.

    The pencils, pencil sharpener, rulers, and all of the other supplies get used EVERYDAY!! My students are very grateful for your help and they send a great big thank you to all of you for your help!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Jenkins

My students are from all over the city. The school is a K-8 school that services the whole city, so we have students from all economic backgrounds. We are a public school in an urban city with limited resources. We are not a Title One school. Every year the budget is getting cut more and more. This is only my second year teaching, and last year, which was my first year, I learned that we spend a whole lot of our own money on our students, because our students families can not or do not provide the necessary supplies. The school can not provide what we need, again, due to the budget cuts.
