• I Won't Lose My Mask!

  Funded Oct 28, 2020

  Thank you so much for your generous donations. The students are happy that they are able to showcase their masks with the colorful mask holders. Our in-person students have been able to keep track of their masks at all times now. Students are allowed to have their masks down when eating lunch. Instead of it falling on the floor, they have been able to have it hang around their neck with ease due to the mask holder. The mask holder has also helped with preventing masks from falling on the floor when it accidently falls off their face. From the bottom of their hearts, the students thank you. They are extremely grateful for them.”

• Headphones for the Win!!!

  Funded Mar 14, 2019

  Your donations made it possible for the students to be able to have headphones to use in class. This allows students to participate in differentiated assignments on the computer. I like to give varied leveled videos for the students to view in order to gain more knowledge about a topic. Some students learn better visually, then just hearing the information in class. Some videos that they like to watch are Liberty's Kids which is a series based on the American Revolution and the series America the Story of US from the History Channel.

  Again thank you so much for making this possible!!!”

• Rising Basketball Stars

  Funded Jun 16, 2019

  Thank you so much for your donation. The students have been able to run skill drills and games during their basketball program. The constant practice has helped improved the students'all around basketball ability. They are excited playing with equipment that is the correct weight and size.

  When the students first saw the new basketballs, they were excited. Their jaws dropped to see NCAA regulation balls, especially for both men and women. The students are so used the non regulation Flaghouse basketballs. They were eager to start the program for the year and maintain the ability to keep coming to the program.

  As we move on in the school year, more students have joined the program because of the basketballs. In addition, attendance has improved. The program is in the morning so students have come to school earlier so they can participate. From an academic standpoint. grades have improved because students must maintain a passing average in order to participate.”
