Playground Equipment
Funded Sep 14, 2020First of all- THANK YOU so much for your support of my classroom and my students! The kids have 2 recesses outside and each day they play with these new games and new equipment! Just the other day I taught them how to play bocce ball! Not only have they been entertained but they have learned how to play an organized game together!
They have loved the variety of stuff to play with! They love the frisbee golf game! They also love play with the sidewalk chalk and being creative out on the black top! Our blacktop looks like an art piece!
We will continue to use these things daily and the kids greatly appreciate the activities, games, and balls to play with out there!”

STEM in 2nd Grade
Funded Dec 3, 2019I personally want to thank you for your generous donation towards my project! The legos and magnetic tiles have been a huge hit in our classroom! We use these materials in STEM bins. I call it Genius hour! The kids are able to build, be creative, solve a task, make their building better, stronger, collaborate with their peers, and be fully engaged in using engineering skills. The students are often given a challenge, task card, or a free choice on what they want to do. Sometimes they work by themselves, sometimes in groups, and sometimes in pairs.
Thank you once again for helping me---help my students! They love this STEM time so much. They enjoy the materials that were donated. We will continue to use these this year on a weekly or biweekly basis. I also plan to use them for many years to come!”

Funded Apr 29, 2019Thank you so much for your donations towards our Cricut machine, vinyl, and tools! I have had the chance to use this amazing machine with kids and to decorate our school with positive sayings!
Specifically another staff member and myself decorated our school with many sayings all summer long. We put these positive quotes high up on the wall so children can't pick at them. We put them in almost all of our bathrooms including the staff and student bathrooms. We put up teacher quotes in the new teachers lounge and it's amazing! A few teachers have used this to put quotes up in their own classroom! The staff were especially amazed and the students love it too! The principal thanked us so much for making our space such a positive and welcoming place!
I had the chance to use it with some of my students to make shirts. The girls were able to help run the machine and do most of the work. They had a blast!
Our next steps are to train some of the other staff to use the Cricut machine and then they can use it without help and put up things to make their space more welcoming too!”

Wiggly Bottoms Need Cushions
Funded Oct 10, 2016First of all- I want to thank you to all my donors. I appreciate your generosity towards my classroom and the children I share it with each and every day! It also teaches these children a lesson in that when you are able- you should give to others!
Each day my kids are using these cushions to sit at a low table. The table is about 16 inches off the ground and the kids sit on the floor but on top of the cushions. They love to sit at these tables. They love to be able to move while sitting on these cushions. It really is a great seating option. I can't imagine sitting in a chair all day long-7 hours a day- for 190 days a year! When we choose seats- the tables with these cushions are almost always the first ones chosen. They absolutely love them! They also use these cushions for a soft spot to sit while they are reading! They are able to be moved around to different parts of the room. Some even lay on top of them.
When we first got our materials-the kids were so thrilled. They helped carry the boxes and open the packages. They couldn't wait for their turn to sit on the low table with the cushions. We will continue to use these cushions this year and they will last years into the future.
2nd grade (7 years old) is such a great age/year. They learn and grow so much! They learn to become avid readers, solve complex math problems, do experiments in science, and even learn about social studies. These cushions will help them continue to learn but yet be comfortable in our classroom. Once again- THANK YOU!”

Digital Camera for Our Whole School to Use
Funded Feb 6, 2012Thank you so much for your generous donations towards the camera that was purchased. We have already used it many times within our classroom and school. The kids have learned how to use a camera and they were excited to use it! Many of the kids haven't had the chance to use such a nice camera. It was a wonderful learning opportunity. It is truly awesome to see the kids get so excited over the use of technology.
With the tight economy now, we didn't have the money to purchase a camera to use for our school. We did have one but it often took blurry photos or the photos were too dark and the flash wasn't strong enough. We have had a few performances with different grade levels and the camera was used to take the photos and share with the kids, teachers, parents, and through our school website.
Once again, thanks for your generosity and kindness in the support of our classroom and our school!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Majchrzak
Step Foot Into A Digital World
Funded Nov 17, 2008Wow.... I cannot believe it. My kids will be so excited to receive this and start to using it. Thank you so much for your donation! I am truly grateful for this. I hope to get the kids using the camera as soon as we can. I plan on making a song about germs, and taking pictures of the kids washing their hands. Now the kids can take the pictures. Once again, I am so grateful and excited at the same time”

Literature Materials
Funded Dec 10, 2008I am overwhelmed by your donation! I want to thank each and every one of you! These things will be a great asset to our classroom, and my kids will be so excited to use them. This truly will benefit my lower level learners and hopefully increase some of their reading skills by providing these hands on learning materials.
