  • Practice Makes Perfect

    Funded Nov 23, 2022

    You have many people happy. Not only my students but their parents as well. They were able to see how they looked foward to coming to school because they had the materials that allowed them to strive.

    I enjoyed hearing that our project was funded by your genrous company. Thank you for making learning fun and giving my student just a tiny gesture that they can turn around and give to others. They don't fear learning because they know that there are many wonderful people that allow them to grow with out the fear of not having materials.”

  • Social Interaction

    Funded Nov 30, 2021

    Thank you for your donation. My students are learning to interact with their peers. Due to the currect pandemic they were deprived of the social interaction in previous years of early learning.

    This projection will allow them to grow socially as well as academically. These games allow them to think critically helping their mind growth.

    Sportmanship is cruicial during these early years and these games are a good tool to compensate that journey. Learning with games allows for long time learning to stick with them throughtout their life.

    You made our future leaders gain empathy for the future.

    Thank you caring and providing my students with games to enjoy with their classmates.”

  • Equipment to Succeed

    Funded Nov 10, 2021

    Thank you for donating to this cause. My students are beyond happy to have equipement to improve their learning. They are enjoying the freedom to become empowered with technology.

    They show their creativity with materials given to them and put their unique touch to material. Math is not necessary numbers only, they are able to create masterpieces to decorate their classroom with their art.

    Social learning includes other cultures. Showing them how others celebrate gives them a sense of belonging in the world. It also allows them to display their masterpiece to everyone that walks into the class.

    Thank you for providing them with opportunity to bloom.”

  • Technology for Empowerment

    Funded Dec 21, 2017

    Words cannot express how this gift has helped my students. We have a shortage of equipment and many of our students have a difficult time learning without technology. This gift has enabled my students to get that extra help in their learning. The iPad is used for academics, as well as a reward, and for visual stimulation. Majority of my students are non verbal so it is difficult to assess them but having this iPad I can see how much they have learned and how much they have grown. Thank you for finding it in your heart to give a little but means the world to my students.”
