  • Hard Work that is Bright and Beautiful!

    Funded Jun 19, 2020

    Thank you so incredibly much for the students crayons ! This year is so incredibly different for students. They cannot share supplies which makes it very difficult for them throughout their day. Some students come in without the correct supplies. Being able to provide children with crayons and pencils make for an easier day for them as well as I as an educator. Students deserve to come into school and not worry about supplies or how they are going to finish a project. These crayons are distributed with no problem, multiple times a day. Thank you so much for considering my second grade students for this donation. They have already been put to good use and will continue to all year long !!”

  • A Warm and Welcoming Rug!

    Funded Feb 13, 2020

    Thank you so incredibly much for this beautiful rug. Over 30 students visit the reading room each day and this rug is an amazing addition to the room for the students to use. AIS reading students sit and read during independent reading time and this allows them to have a warm and welcoming place to sit. Reading students put forth so much hard work to develop their reading skills outside the classroom. This is a perfect gift to give them as they work so hard to enrich their skills. Thank you again for thinking of my students. They are thrilled to have a beautiful rug to use!”
