• Things Are Heating Up!

  Funded May 19, 2024

  Thank you so much for your very generous donations to our first grade classroom. We were in dire need of a microwave for our classroom since our last one went kaput. It's funny how you don't realize how much something is needed until you have to do without it. We are very excited about our new classroom appliance and can't wait to start using it again to perform experiments, and heat lunches.

  This item would not have been replaced for a long time and because of you we now have it. Without your support this would have been impossible. Thank you so much.”

• Under Construction!

  Funded Apr 16, 2024

  Thank you so much for your very generous donation to my first grade classroom. I am so excited about having a room transformation for my first graders. I cannot wait to see their faces when they walk in the classroom to find a construction zone. Changing the atmosphere of a classroom sparks renewed interest and pumps up some first graders. They instantly want tot know what we are going to be doing and why does our room not look the same. This fun filled day of learning is only going to be possible due to you! Without your support I could not offer my kiddos this opportunity. Thank you!”

• Hip Hip Hooray! It's Your Birthday!

  Funded Apr 15, 2024

  Thank you so much for supporting my Birthday project with my first graders. I feel that it is very important to highlight these celebrations in the early grades. Many students are not celebrated and I wanted to make sure they feel special even if it is just for that one day. This project would never have been possible without your generosity. The price of classroom supplies has skyrocketed and public school funding has been cut in so many ways recently. Donations are crucial to classroom success. Thanks again.”

• Laminator Fun!

  Funded Nov 9, 2023

  Thank you so much for your generosity. I can't tell you how much this one small item has completely changed our classroom. Games are made and laminated so that they can be used many times to practice skills needed in our first grade classroom. Keepsakes are laminated to be preserved for parents for years to come. Classroom everyday items like name tags and cubby labels are now done in a way that stays up all year long without having to be replaced. I appreciate your donation. We are very thankful.”

• Nugget Fun!

  Funded Sep 13, 2023

  Thank you so much for generously donating to my first grade classroom. I wish you were able to see the looks on my kiddos faces when the nugget entered our classroom. They were so excited they did not know what to do with themselves. The nugget is the hottest item in our classroom during reading time.

  This project would not have been possible without your help. I am overcome with gratitude and my first graders are reading like never before just for the opportunity to sit on the new nugget. Whatever works, right?”

• Snack Attack!

  Funded Aug 2, 2023

  Thank you so much for the snacks for my first graders. They are greatly appreciated and will feed many grumbling bellies. My students were very happy when they saw me unpacking the boxes and all the delicious treats they were seeing.

  WE are very thankful for your generosity and continued support of our classroom. It is nice to know that there are good people out in the world who want to help teachers and schools. Thanks for helping with the snacks and allowing me to be able to bless my littles with treats and snacks.”

  Thank you so much for funding our first grade project. We have already used our teachers pay teachers gift card to purchase some escape room kits for our classroom.

  Funded May 9, 2023

  Thank you so much for your donation to our first grade classroom by helping to purchase a teachers pay teachers gift card for my students. We are so excited to create fun and hands on engaging lessons in which we can have fun while learning. Learning will never stop in our classroom even if we are having so much fun that we forget we are actually learning. Because of you this project was able to be funded and we are benefiting in educational ways.

  We are also going to learn teamwork and communication skills while learning in groups or with a partner.”

• Let's Hear It for Inventors!

  Funded Jun 18, 2023

  Thank you so much for sponsoring my classroom for this project. We are excited to get our hands on our supplies and create many hands on activities. We will have plenty of supplies to keep us busy in our first grade classroom. We can't wait to share our creations with everyone in our school and hallway. Being able to be inventors and make new things is both fun and exciting. I am hoping that this project will allow my students to feed off of each other and become a community of learning. We appreciate you.”

• Boot Camp

  Funded Jun 8, 2023

  Thank you so much for blessing my first grade students with the opportunity to have a fun filled day with a Boot Camp in our first grade classroom. We will put war paint on our faces, enjoy snacks from the mess hall, make military keychains with our last names on them for our booksack zipper pulls. We will wear helmets and march down the hallways while taking orders from the drill sergeant (me!).
