First Grade Flex
Funded Nov 2, 2023Thank you again for your amazing donations. The students were so excited when they saw their new flexible seating. The materials are used each day in a variety of ways. Some students use them in the morning to read books. Some students use the chairs and desk tops to complete group work for math or writing. Other students relax on the chairs in the calm corner when they need a break. Your donations have provided the students with more comfortable seating options for them to enjoy in our classroom. I always say this is their home away from home. We are a family, and your donations helped create a warmer, more comfortable space for our home. Thank you!”

Succeed With STEAM
Funded Oct 23, 2017Thank you so much for your generous donation to our Succeed with STEAM project. The students were beyond excited and so grateful to receive the materials. We've used the materials several times. Two of our favorite activities have been class challenges. During one challenge, students worked in groups to invent a new game. The other challenge they loved was building a bridge. They challenged each other to see whose bridge was able to support the most weight. It is wonderful to see the students be creative, work together and problem solve. Thank you again for your support.”

Funded Dec 21, 2014Your donations helped show a group of 23 fifth graders what it means to have gratitude. They were beyond thankful and so surprised that people actually wanted to help them obtain our dream classroom. They were perplexed as to how you found out about us. This allowed the opportunity for me to share donors choose with them and explain the wonderful work this web site does. I hope that in the future, when they are successful, they remember these wonderful gifts and find a way to pay them forward.
Your donations brought a futon, bean bag chairs, two iPads with cases as well as some books into our classroom. The new furniture helped me create a wonderful work space for the students. They now have a comfortable space to read, work on math problems, and work on projects. The students take turns using the resources on a daily basis. They are also used as incentives for students who deserve rewards.
Throughout the year, these students work on numerous projects. They have mostly used the iPads for research. Students have created info graphs on authors and global warming. They have also researched many states to help them on their virtual road trip across our amazing country. Students also showed me how to download an app so that they can use PowerPoint on the iPads.
Thank you for showing these kids what generosity is.”
