Create a Calming Corner
Funded Oct 20, 2022On behalf of The Palmcroft Elementary School Resource program and our students, we would like to thank you for helping us achieve our goal to create our "Calming Corner". You have given us the opportunity to provide a safe and comfortable area for our students to decompress and relax. They are also able to use their new sensory tools if needed to soothe their anxieties and/or emotions. These tools help our students practice fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and improve their concentration. This increases their academic focus which helps them achieve their academic potential. It is very important for our students to practice these skills to help them reduce misbehaviors in their classrooms. We are beyond grateful for you and your generous donation.”
With gratitude,

This classroom project was brought to life by The Arizona Department of Education and 4 other donors.Second Chance to Learn How to Read & Write
Funded Nov 29, 2016My second grade students and I would like to share our gratitude with you for funding our project. Wow!!! Supplies worth $1000 of classroom materials. Who would think this was possible!! I can't believe your organization is so generous. This Christmas was a very special one for me as an educator needing basic tools for my students to succeed. Since it was just a few weeks before Christmas, the students and myself were very excited to see these enormous boxes arrive to our classroom. Christmas had definitely arrived early for us in Room 312. We were very eager to see what had arrived.
As the packages were delivered to our class, I showed and explained what we would use these items for. The students were as excited as I was to explore and unwrap the items. The most excitement was when I opened up the science experiment boxes. We have still to use them. The students however have used the pencil sharpener, starter book sets, labels for their iPad access codes, trays to turn in work, a very blue tape player to listen to our weekly stories and many more items. My student will have the chance to read and listen to stories at their reading ability. They will be able to organize their writing. As the end of the year draws near, I am already thinking of what I need to prepare for the upcoming year. I can't express my gratitude enough for all of the help in donating supplies to my classroom.”
