  • Robotomania!

    Funded Mar 27, 2007

    We're so excited! Thank you so much for your donation to "my kids". It's just in time for us to have the newest kit available for the next robotics tournament in May. Now we'll be competing at the same level as the other teams.

  • Slip Sliding Away

    Funded Dec 23, 2006

    I'm so excited to receive these materials! I have been teaching erosion this week, and my students really need hands on activity. Trying to make stream tables with foil pie pans just didn't work, and I know that your donation will make a real difference in my students' understanding.

    Thank you again for making the difference in the education of our children.

  • It's Alive!

    Funded Jun 28, 2006

    I'm so excited about your donations that will provide these wonderful resources to my students! During summer school, we spent quite a bit of time working in the outdoor habitat, and the children love to visit the pond to see what new creatures they can find. I know that having live organisms in the classroom will be a great learning experience for them. Your donation makes that possible. It's summer vacation now, but we'll be back in September and you'll hear from the students themselves.

    Thank you again,
