Froggy Hands Need Portable Sink
Funded Nov 17, 2024Thank you so much for donating the sinks. Before they arrived, students had to go around the corner to clean their hands after their Science experiments. Now, they can wash them from the classroom. The sinks have made a huge difference and impact. We can't thank you enough. When the students dissected the frogs, they got guts and frog goo all over the floor. If we had to go around the corner to get water, it would've made a huge mess. This year, when that happened, all we had to do was to get the paper towels and water from the sink and we're able to clean the goo and guts right away. Thank you so much. We will forever be grateful.”

Funded Jun 13, 2021Thank you so much for the books that you gifted to my students. Many of my students found the books to be highly engaging and thought provoking. The books were used for the Social Justice and Student Empowerment course. As one of the teachers who wrote the curriculum for the class, the topics within the This Book is Anti-Racist book provided students an opportunity to share their points of view on a variety of topics covered in the book.
Not only was the book wonderful for my students that normally like to read, it was also very enlightening to other students who don't like to read. For example, one of my students, let's call him Wilton, is a big and gruff football player, whose family has some biased views of many of the topics in the book. One day, Wilton shared in class that he had finished reading the book, ahead of the class, and he had been having some great conversations with his family about the topics, such as resisting racism. He shared that he was trying to show his family that some of their beliefs went beyond mere bias. He also shared that as a result of reading the book, his own mindset about the topics such as racism, bias, prejudice, privilege, and social identity began to help him understand some of the other culture of people in our school and on the football team.
Stories like Wilton's are just beginning to impact my students. None of this would be possible without your generous donation of the This Book is Anti-Racist. Thank you again for your donation and making a huge difference in the lives of my students.”
