  • Creativity and Critical Thinking Through Seating

    Funded Dec 1, 2021

    We want to thank you so much for your generosity. I can't begin to tell you what it means to these kids to have a place where they can learn and truly become 21st Century learners! They are sweet, hard-working, highly intelligent kids who sometimes just need a little boost, and you are all part of that for them. Again, thank you, and we will send you pictures after we get it set up! Our classroom is a better place because of your awesome contribution.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Lira

  • Binder organization is the key to success!

    Funded Jun 10, 2021

    Thank you so much for funding my bookshelves! This will truly help our students organize and have everything they need for class! This really helps us to keep the students organized and learn valuable tools besides the core curriculum to help with their lives after they leave the classroom. I cannot thank you enough!!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Lira

  • Stand if You Cannot Sit in Class!

    Funded May 29, 2021

    This means so much and thank you very very much for all the birthday donations as well as donations to fund my students! They will appreciate this tremendously and use this while working in class! This will help my students who cannot sit still as well as those who cannot stand for long periods of time. Truly you have helped us and I appreciate it!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Lira

My students use a binder system to keep track of all their work that is done in our class. This organization helps them to have each class separated by color and with their name on their binder. The bookshelves are the holding places in class for their binders so that none of their work is lost, damaged, or stolen during their learning throughout the school year. This helps to keep their notes and assignments organized properly. For my students to be able to walk in on the first day of school to a shelf full of brand new binders would inspire them to take ownership, especially when the bookshelves can help in this process It's rare that some of these students ever get anything brand new. This will be one less school supply they will have to go home and tell mom to buy. Everyone will start out on the same page. All of their classwork will be located in this binder. At the end of the class, the students return their binder to the shelf, keeping it at school at all times.
