  • Hooray for September

    Funded Sep 2, 2024

    Thank you so much for your wonderful donation! As a fifth grade teacher I am finding myself always running low on supplies such as pencils, crayons, Markers etc. and it's so nice to have them at hand so the students can enjoy them.

    The diary of a wimpy kid books are their favorite and I was able to add them to my library using the beautiful book bins that were donated. The students were so excited to have brand new copies to read!

    Thanks to you we have some great supplies, brand new books and a wonderful library to enjoy them in! I cannot thank you enough!”

  • Brand New Books!

    Funded Dec 22, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generous donation. My students were so excited to receive their favorite book series...Harry Potter, Goosebumps, Dork Diaries, Wimpy Kid books and Harry Potter!

    As a teacher of 2 classes, 50 students in total, We go through a lot of wear and tear of books. They can get very pricey...and the opportunity to have a platform such as donors choose to help replenish my library is a blessing.

    Since we have received the books, we made a "special library" with all of the new books, and I can't keep them off the shelves! I hope the smiles that you put on my students' faces also puts a smile on your face!”

  • Brand New Books!

    Funded Aug 13, 2021

    I would like to express my continued gratitude to all of you. The students were so excited to read the books, I couldn't keep them on the shelves!

    My students do book clubs on a weekly basis and this has made them even more excited to work with their peers and discuss high interest books on their level. Books like Goosebumps, Wimpy Kid, Captain Underpants and Dork Diaries keep them interested and motivated. This is so important, especially since many of them missed the opportunity to have in person learning for over a year.

    Thank you so much for everything...My 5th graders and I appreciate it so much!”

  • Welcome to the Jungle!

    Funded Apr 28, 2020

    Thank you so much for your generosity and thoughtfulness. We plan on using and enjoying these rugs to the fullest!

    Unfortunately due to covid most of the students are not learning in person and cannot enjoy them right away. There are about 7 of my students that come to school for in person learning twice a week, and even they can't sit in close proximity on these rugs and it was advised not to use them until the pandemic has passed.

    However, I told all of my students about Donors Choose, and they were very happy and grateful knowing that there are generous people out there that care about them. My online students even made thank you signs!

    I cannot wait for the day that I can take off the plastic of of these rugs and share them with my wonderful students. It will be a well deserved gift for all of us.”

  • An AWESOME New Library!

    Funded Oct 18, 2018

    Thank you so much for your kind support! My third graders love their new library...they were so excited to start reading. This meant a lot to us because many of the books were falling apart. Having crisp brand new books to open and read is such a special feeling and I am so glad that these students had the opportunity to know what it feels like. The most exciting part is that many of the books were series that they loved (especially Fly Guy...they can't get enough of it!) They have new titles to write about in their reading journals, to share with one another and to enjoy for the rest of the year during their reading time. Just know that your kindness and generosity has really made an impact on all of us! Much Love!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Brown

My students have always had a love of books. Unfortunately they have very limited access to great literature at home, so for many of them, my classroom library is all they have. I have always tried to provide them with quality books that are leveled, including book series which they love. They are welcome to choose as many books as they like, keep them at their seats for as long as they wish, and even take them home as needed. Through the years, the books have become very worn and ripped. I have tried to replace them as much as I can, but it has become very expensive and the number of books available in my library has dwindled. It would be amazing to give my students this year the gift of a brand new library!
