Funded Dec 30, 2010Thank you so much for donating to our project!
We love our new bookshelf! Now all of our novels have an organized place to rest. It is easier for scholars to find books with this new resource. Our new bean bag chairs are on their way, and the scholars can't wait to stretch out in them and read! They are already making plans to spend their lunch time curled up with books.
I appreciate your support in increasing scholar investment and organization. Words cannot express how grateful I am. These scholars are truly deserving of your generosity. Thanks again, from the bottom of my heart.”

Funded Jan 1, 2011Thank you so much for donating these wonderful writers' workshop materials to our classroom! Our fully stocked supply table has been extremely helpful. Now we are able to focus on writing with sharpened pencils and organized portfolios. Scholars are excited to share their organized work with their friends and families, and show pride in their accomplishments of taking pieces through the writing process.
Because of your donation, my scholars are writing faster and writing more. They are using strong voice and clear organization in their essays, and are showing off their newly acquired vocabulary.

Funded Oct 6, 2010Thank you so much for donating these wonderful books to our classroom! The day the books came was like Christmas in my classroom. The scholars were so excited to see titles that they requested! We had to create a waiting list for several of the more popular titles!
Because of your donation, my scholars are reading faster and reading more. Independent reading time is now their favorite part of class, and they beg for more time to read. In only 4 months of school, my scholars on average have made 8 months of reading growth, which is an amazing and important feat considering several came in below grade level. If we continue at this rate, which I know we will, every scholar will leave my classroom this summer reading on or above grade level. Your donation has truly changed the lives of my deserving scholars. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Geology Rocks! City Kids Take Science Outside!
Funded Oct 10, 2009Thank you so much for your donations of clipboards, tree finder books, triple beam balances, and graduated cylinders! My science scholars were thrilled when they received these supplies. We use the clipboards daily in class to keep track of our data for experiments. We have also used the graduated cylinders and triple beam balances to learn more about density. We are excited for the warm weather to come so that we can venture outside to use our tree finder books!
Without your generous donations, my science scholars would not be able to have the hands-on learning experiences that make science special. We are truly grateful for your generosity!”

Science Comes Alive With Butterflies And Carnivorous Plants!
Funded Apr 2, 2009Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom! All of the science materials that you donated have been put to good use and have tremendously increased my scholars knowledge and love of science.
The day that the materials arrived, my scholars were so excited! They loved watching the Venus fly trap grow and putting their knowledge of the human body systems to use with Seymore, the anatomy model.
The day of the Crime Scene Investigation, I surprised them by covering the room with the caution tape that you sent. They put on their lab coats and worked together to solve the mystery. They are still talking about it!
They especially enjoyed the butterfly project, where they not only had the opportunity to conduct an experiment using the scientific method, but also had the chance to name and care for their own living creature.
Your donation has fueled a passion for science within my scholars. Without your support, they never would have had these opportunities. You have truly impacted their present and their future”
