• Learning Through Technology

  I can hardly contain the excitement my students and I have had over the past few days. The MacBook Pro that you donated is helping my students each day. We use it to learn new words, develop writing and speech skills, and build cognitive levels that so many students require assistance with.

• Children With Autism Need Headphones

  Funded Apr 2, 2012

  Today our room was very quite. Adam, Zachary and Jacky were working on math programs on the computer. Kevin was listening to a book and Alan and Nicholas were watching multiplication videos. It was amazing. Each of them were able to concentrate on what they were doing and they were all so focused on what they were learning. 

  I can't begin to thank you for these headphones. They have made a huge difference in our classroom. My students love them and are learning so much more because they are focused and have little distractions.

• My Students with Autism Need New Clean Supplies

  Funded Feb 24, 2010

  Hi everyone,

  All the materials arrived last week. I can't tell you how excited all the kids were. They were jumping up and down when the "three" boxes arrived. I'm not much of a photographer but I did my best. The pictures really don't express how much you have done to further their education and make learning "fun".

  The verbal students kept asking where all the presents came from! I explained that they came from friends who cared a lot about them.

  I'm just so grateful to you for your generosity. I hope you can really understand how much we all appreciate what you have done. You're helping some terrific kids learn to read, write and do math with games, and hands on materials that work with their different learning styles.

  My students and I sincerely thank you.”

• We Need Some Magic Carpet Time

  Funded Jan 13, 2010

  I could not wait to write to let you know how excited all my students have been about the new carpet. They can't wait for me to say it's time to read so they can go to their assigned carpet area and get comfortable with their favorite book!

  We also play games on the floor and do other types of instruction. Now when we are all on the floor it's warm and fun. The carpets are thick and very comfortable. They really brighten up the whole room.

  Your gift has inspired them and brought new life, comfort and structure to our class. We can now say, "let's meet on the pond carpet, let's meet on the green carpet, etc. This really helps break up our small classroom and provides clear direction.

  I can't express how much we appreciate your donations.

  I sincerely thank you for your generous gift and want you to know that you have brought so many smiles to a terrific group of kids.”
