  • Sweet Accomplishments & Incentives!

    Funded Aug 12, 2024

    We sincerely are thankful for your support in allowing our students to benefit from their accomplisments in sweet ways and for positive reinforcements. The cotton candy maker and popcorn maker is a huge hit and motivates them in so many ways. Upon first seeing what we had, they jumped for joy. However, they knew what is expected to reap the benefits. They expressed their thankfulness once I told them and showed them where it came from. Some of our students even bowed their heads to you. It shows that sweet incentives has no ethnic barriers!

    We are emotionally warmed by your committment to us and for us and will always remember your support. ”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. West

  • LEGO Learning for Life Club Needed

    Funded Jul 17, 2024

    We are sincerely grateful for your care, and support in helping fund our students opportunity to be creative, learn, grow, and become inspired. The Lego blocks and gadgets help students step beyond their normal level of learning. They now have a level of challenges by using these that promotes so much more to problem solving and critical thinking. Students that would usually work individually are now motivated to build on their teamwork skills along with socializing.

    Our students are elated so grateful each time they meet to work on their challenges.

    This hands on level of learning has already garnered positive outcomes. One of the students asked if we will ever be a part of a competition with other schools. They're eager to work on the next goal and towards their new levels of success.

    With much gratitude for all of your thoughts, kindness, and generosity toward our scholars. We truly appreciate this donation!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. West

  • Seeing, Hearing, Doing...I Love to Learn!

    Funded Dec 23, 2016

    Our class is so humbled and grateful to have our project accepted. This is the fist time any of my students have witnessed or been the recipient of such an act of caring and kindness. One of my students asked me why would you give us anything if you didn't know us. My response was simply "Because you are important and you matter."

    When the students initially opened the box with the headphones they cheered and asked if they could use their headphones right away. They were so excited. The headphones are a huge valuable resource in our room and are a tremendous help to our students that must have access to audio and video. They use them with a purpose. They cherish them, care for them, and are so very thankful for them.

    My students now have beautiful functional headphones that allow them to access programs and lessons to support their educational experience. This is without a doubt, a lesson and experience that will forever be etched in the hearts and minds of my students as well as myself.

    For this Ms. Yvonne, I am eternally thankful!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. West

I teach grades 5 and 6 in which each grade is taught on their individual levels and subject areas. My students have access to and use computers in the classroom to support their learning. Some students require more use and some less. As a result, headphones are an important resource in our room. The use of computers in our classroom is such a great resource that’s much needed and used. However, my headphones had been shared by other classes, who too share in using their computers as an extension of learning – especially for our ELL and students with disabilities. Because of this, my headphones have mostly become defunct or destroyed due to repeated use. I am in need of functional headphones for my classroom that will allow my students to access programs and lessons to enhance and support their educational experience.
