  • Self Care in Motion!

    Funded Dec 16, 2024

    Thank you for your impact in the lives of teachers and students. Being able to put a smile on faces and helping to make the load a little lighter through encouragement and inspiration was made possible by sharing the motivation journals with others. As each person read their quote, they shared how impactful it was for them and how it set the tone for their day. Your generosity is greatly appreciated more than you can ever know. Thank you for helping me put smiles on faces and remind others that they are thought about.”

  • Learn and Play!

    Funded Dec 16, 2024

    Your generous donation has impacted the learning environment in remarkable ways. The goal was to have interactive and engaging activities for days when the weather does not permit outdoor play but having the games you provided has improved student engagement throughout the day. Students are more focused on their work and intentional about accuracy and teamwork. In so many instances, students have completed their work early and had the opportunity to engage in a game of scrabble to spell content vocabulary words. This was a great investment and it is because of thoughtful people such as yourself that help educators reach students on another level.”

  • Interactive Learning

    Funded Nov 30, 2024

    Thank you for your generosity. You have helped students take learning to another level by actively engaging in interactive instruction and enrichment activities that extend beyond the four walls of learning. It is amazing to see the interest that students have gained from having access to an IPAD of their own and not having to share with a partner has made a tremendous difference. Capturing nature that coincide with a writing activity has motived students to express themselves by using personal footage that they were able to select. This impact and motivation to learn would not be possible without you so than you so much.”

  • Attendance Is on and Popping!

    Funded Nov 30, 2024

    Encouraging students to attend school daily can be daunting. Often, circumstances beyond a student's control impacts learning and are causes for excused and unexcused absences. Attendance is Popping came as an idea to reward students for showing up. To take it a step further, staff members will chime in to congratulate those who receive blow pops for improved attendance as well as perfect attendance. It was very rewarding to see the smiles on student's faces as their names were called and the cheers sounding! Because of you, students are encouraged to pop in on a consistent basis.”

  • Snack Attack!

    Funded Nov 30, 2024

    Many students come to school facing unfortunate situations of experiencing hunger. Although breakfast and lunch is served, by the end of the day, students lose motivation to attend afterschool programs because they are hungry. Providing snacks at the end of the instructional day can have positive effects on children's health, help them to focus, and motivate them to participate in extracurricular activities by offering a nutritional boost. Studies have shown that something as simple as a snack can help to improve concentration during activities. Well-chosen snacks alone can contribute to overall performance in children during after-school hours.

    Your generous donation has put smiles on faces and encouragement in hearts and for that I am ever grateful.”

  • Equity and Excellence with a Smile!

    Funded Nov 9, 2024

    You have no idea how your generosity has lifted the spirits of the students and teachers who received the gifts. Just to see a smile on faces has impacted the moral of staff members and shifted the school culture. I am so appreciative of your generosity to help me remind individuals of their "why". Teaching in today's society can be daunting but with people like you who care, the load has been made lighter and hearts have been lifted. Students have shared insight about how they plan to implement the gratitude journals daily and the stress balls have supported instruction to help students cope with stress.”

  • Teaching With Purpose!

    Funded Sep 23, 2022

    When I saw that my project was fully funded, I was overwhelmed and filled with gratitude. My eyes teared up as I thought about how generous others are and how my project was seen as one of importance. Seeing how a little gratitude inspires teachers to continue the great work they do daily, sparked my desire to present this project to Donors Choose. When I opened my door and saw that the boxes were delivered, I was overjoyed! Usually by the end of November, teachers experience a downward trend and need a little pick me up to continue the work of educating young lives. Presenting them with the gift to inform them of how much they are appreciated will give them the dose of encouragement they need to prepare for and continue the 2023 portion of the school year. My heart is pounding with excitement as I write this thank you letter because I know how hard the teachers work and the message that will be displayed through this generous gesture. When I presented the gift idea to one teacher, she embraced me and said how much it means to be thought of and appreciated. Thank you to everyone who played a part in this project being funded. Lives are made better and student needs are met because of generous donors such as you. Thank you is not enough.”
