  • Help Elevate Our Learning Environment

    Funded Oct 7, 2022

    Thank you everyone for your ongoing kindness and support. My middle school students deserve an positive learning environment especially with such a rocky start. Without your help, our classroom would still look very much depressing. Coming from the neighborhood the students at Potter-Thomas are coming from, they deserve to see school as a safe haven. Thank you again!!!”

  • Help Us Count The Ways

    Funded Sep 23, 2021

    Words alone can not begin to express my gratitude for your ongoing support to the students at Key School. For many of you, this is not the first time you have donated to one of my projects and that speaks volumes to who you are. The students and teachers will be excited to have new number lines to help them with building number sense in their classrooms. Thank you again.”

  • Remote Learning Essentials

    Funded Aug 3, 2020

    As always, this letter can not even begin to capture the ongoing gratitude I have for you and you generosity. Thanks to your donations, I was able to provide school supplies to my students to help them tackle virtual learning. But your generosity does more than that.. it levels the playing field for them, it allows my students and their parents to have one less stressor to have with this uncertainty of this school year. You showed them that you care about their education, well being and them in general. So thank you!”

  • Interacting with Interactive Notebooks

    Funded Aug 11, 2020

    Wow! Each time I get the notification that a project of mine gets funded, my heart soars. I feel blessed to know that there are so many amazingly generous people who truly support public education. Your donation will help my students turn their math books into study guides that they will actually use and take full ownership of. For that I thank you!”

  • Safe and Healthy!

    Funded Jul 23, 2020

    I am truly blown away but the outpour of support towards this project. With the uncertainty of the pandemic and how it will greatly effect all students and teachers knowing my students will begin to have some of the essential cleaning supplies to use on a daily basis means a great deal. The long lasting effects of this pandemic especially on our black and brown and poor students furthers the gaps on inequality, leaving them once again a vast disadvantage. It is a great relief to know that there are MANY supports and advocates for our students in the public sector who will do more than just talk the talk, but will do everything they can to help students in need. For those of you who I have never met, please know that we don't know each other, you will forever have a place in my heart and in my students' as well. For those who I do have a personal connection, thank you for being a friend who not only supports me, but my students who mean the world to me as well. Thank you!”

  • Reading for Change!

    Funded Jul 2, 2020

More importantly this project will hopefully help my students learn to be anti-racist as well as how to overcome racism. You’re act of kindness is true heroes work!!!”

  • Let's Get Organized!

    Funded Aug 23, 2019

    Thank you so much for your generosity on yet another one of my projects. Each and every time I see another project funded, I smile from ear to ear because I could not do it with out each of you. Thanks to you, my students were able to stay organized this year. Being able to stay organized in 5th grade in which they cycle between two teachers is essential in the success of their learning. Having extra space for them to store their notebooks, and other material that they did not need to travel with on a daily basis made things easier for them. So thank you!!!”

  • Interacting With Interactive Notebooks.

    Funded May 14, 2019

    Thank you for your ongoing support and selflessness towards another project to help my math students. Next year's students will have the tools they need in order to create interactive math notebooks to keep their notes organized. My hope for next year's students is that they begin to create their own notes, as opposed to memorizing math vocabulary through traditional means of just simply copying information from a textbook. Each and every time I put up a new project up on Donor's Choose, I am blown away by the generosity of others. Being able to find funding to obtain materials for the classroom is not always easy, so I am entirely grateful for your help!”
