  • Scholastic Choices Magazine

    Funded Oct 10, 2018

    Thank you so very much for funding my project. My students love the fact that they each have a separate copy of Choices Magazine. This magazine has already taught them valuable information about making healthy life choices.

    The articles in these magazines are relevant to today's teens. The articles are about current events like, vaping, cyber-bullying, depression, sleep deprivation, sexual harassment and pressure to be successful. Without this magazine, my students would not get up-to-date pertinent information about their lives.

    We appreciate your commitment to education and we will make the best of these magazines.”

  • Boys Can Read

    Funded Mar 27, 2018

    Thank you for funding my project for my male students. My boys will now have an opportunity to read a great novel! The boys will be able to relate to the protagonist in the story because he is about the same age as they are. This novel has a "cliff hanger" at the end of each chapter, which will keep them wanting for more! We have not read any novels specifically geared towards boys to date and I am looking forward to exposing my boys to this novel. This novel will provide a look into survival and self-reliance " skills that are needed throughout life.

    I commend you on your commitment to education. I realize that you had many choices and I am truly grateful that you took a chance on my students and me.”

  • Science World Magazine II

    Funded Aug 24, 2017

    Thank you so very much for funding my project! Because of your generosity and commitment to education, I can continue to expose my students to a variety of educational experiences. This particular project, I am sure, will have a lasting impact on their lives. Now my students don't have to argue about who will read the Science World Magazine first they each have their own copy! My students and I are truly grateful that you funded this project. Hopefully, experiences and knowledge gained from the magazines will peak their interest and they will continue to pursue educational opportunities in the sciences and maybe even future careers. In the interim, however, the magazines will provide fantastic learning experiences.

    When individuals, such as you, give back to the community it is a win-win situation for both parties. Again, on behalf of my students and myself a hearty THANK YOU.”

  • Healthy Choices

    Funded Oct 19, 2017

    I want to thank you again for your generous donation to my project. I have been able to empower my students with essential life skills, such as, healthy living, reducing stress and staying focused. These magazines are up-to-date and relevant for teens. There are articles about the dangers of social media, online friends, abusive relationships, and how to turn failures into successes.

    My students are thrilled to each have their own copy of this magazine and eagerly await the arrival of the new magazine each month. My students have friendly debates and discussions about some of the articles. Thank you for allowing me to bring significant "life lessons" to help my students' overall well-being.”

  • Technology at Work II

    Funded Aug 24, 2017

    Thank you for funding my project. My students are visibly excited when I tell them to go to the computer center! My students also have been able to go on websites such as Scholastic Storyworks and view background information from the magazine writers as well as view video footage that coincides with the Storyworks' articles. Additionally, my students have been able to perform research on high schools as well as complete a college assignment.

    The computer that you purchased for my class will continue to help my current and future students succeed for years to come. Thank you again for helping my students have the same experiences as their peers in better funded school districts.”

I teach at a large Illinois elementary school. Our population is primarily African American. I teach 7th and 8th grade science. My students are from low income families and are all eligible for free lunch. As a teacher and lover of science, I want to instill that love in my students.
