Thank you so much for your generous donations. We will use the LED lights to decorate the classroom. We have one strip now on a closet that the students enjoy turning on, selecting colors for and choosing the pattern. It creates a lively learning environment full of color and creativity.
We use the laminating sheets to preserve work to be kept or hung up. We also laminate certificates the students earn such as student of the month. Although the bulletin board kit was unavailable, I used the funds to purchase sparkly borders. The students also enjoy putting these up and selecting the colors to be used.
Thank you again for your generosity.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 2 other donors.
Thank you so much for your generous donation to our project. Our students have been going outside for recess with a very limited amount of resources which include these jelly balls.
This donation means the students can use various sized balls to play soccer, kickball, volleyball and basketball. Sometimes they also just enjoy a game of old school catch.
We cannot wait for the weather to improve so we can blow up and use even more of the materials.
Future projects include LED lights for the classroom and more equipment to made recess fun. Thank you again!!!”

Thank you for your generosity with this donation. My students are always excited to see the boxes on my desk and when they help me open them!!
Pencils and highlighters will be used by the entire grade to ensure students can succeed with academic tasks. They love the ease of grabbing pre-sharpened pencils They also appreciate the colors of the highlighters.
The wipes will be used to keep all surfaces clean and free of germs. We literally wipe down the desks, counters and chrome books after each class. We thank you again!!!”

I only unwrapped the cushions this morning and already the students love them!! They are meant to use if the students sit on the floor but we decided to put one on each chair in the classroom. The students were very happy with their comfort and color! If a student does not want to use one, they can simply put it on the floor next to the chair.
We appreciate your generosity in donating to this project. It might be the coolest one I have gotten funded. Student who have sensory issues may not even realize they are using the cushions as stimulatory tools to successfully sit and focus.
Thank you again!”

Thank you so much for your generous donation to this project. The students are always excited to see the boxes delivered to my desk, but to see the electronics are even more thrilling.
My students will use these tablets to access the internet to complete assignments as well and for social activities. We have chrome books left over from the time of remote learning but these will replace those that have missing keys or no longer charge.
I do have certain students who are more advanced with technology and they will most likely take advantage of these tablets. They may even show me how to use them.
I thank you again for your generosity!!!!”

Thank you so much for your generous donation to this project. My students have been playing recess on a hard top for years. These activities will help them play more organized games and sports. They will socialize in a more appropriate manner in doing so during recess. This has always been a time for them to take a break from academic demands and being able to run, kick, toss or jump is beneficial.
The organization of the bag is a help. The students helped me blow up the balls, distribute and collect the balls daily and store the bag daily. This teaches responsibility.
Thank you again for your donations.”

Thank you for this generous donation. My students love to see boxes get delivered to the classroom and enjoy opening them to see the contents. This package was especially positive because we have been discussing mindfulness and things such as breathing techniques.
I have applied calming strips to each desk in the classroom (mine included). The students have appreciated the different textures that were provided. The stuffed stim toys were for the younger grades so we donated three of them. The science teacher kept one for her underwater themed classroom.
Thank you again!!!”

Thank you so much for the generous donation. We have already used the markers to create colorful holiday assignments. We threw away an old mismatched and dried out set. Thank you for the replacements. The binders will be used to organize work and materials in a number of classes. The students get so many papers from other classes and we can use these binders and dividers to remain organized.
My students are always so pleased when we get boxes delivered to the classroom. Sometimes I just leave them on my desk all day since we rotate classes so all of the students can see them. Once again, we thank you for your generosity!!”

My students are AWESOME! They come to school every day no matter what challenges they face at home or in the neighborhoods! They are full of potential and effort which would be a shame to waste without the appropriate materials needed. Many of their families cannot afford the basics such as clothing or food, let alone school supplies. Help me help them!
