Using the Basics
Funded May 9, 2024Thank you very much for the generous support to "Using the Basics." Students have already taken advantage of the new materials. You will need to stop at the school in a month to see their creative work hanging in the hallway. We have been blessed to have such wonderful parents and community members that have really stepped up to provide students with every opportunity to succeed. In addition, we have been blessed with donors that have contributed to several projects this past month!
It is so refreshing coming to work each day knowing that our students have such awesome support to make sure they are successful. I know for some of my students, they look forward to creating projects and so these supplies will be perfect!
Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous heart. I wish you all a wonderful year.”

Healthy Snack Option
Funded Feb 17, 2024Thank you so much for your generous donation towards healthy snacks for my students. Your support is making a positive impact on their well-being and learning experience.
I am sincerely grateful for your generous donation of snacks to my classroom. Your thoughtful contribution will significantly enhance the learning environment for my students, providing them with the resources they need to excel academically. Your support is invaluable, and I want to express my deepest appreciation for your commitment to education.
The impact of your donation extends beyond the classroom walls, as it contributes to fostering a positive and conducive learning atmosphere. Your generosity empowers my students to engage more actively in their studies, and your belief in their potential is truly inspiring. With the new supplies, we are better equipped to explore and expand our educational horizons. As an educator, it warms my heart to know that there are individuals like you who understand the importance of investing in education.
Your kindness has not only lightened the load on my budget but has also created opportunities for my students to thrive. Thank you for making a meaningful difference in the lives of these young minds.”

Add Some Air
Funded Jan 10, 2024Thank you so much for the generous donation. As soon as the pump came, I started adding air to the reward balls that we use. My kids can't wait to use them in our next reward period, which happens to be next week.
Without the great support of this organization, we would not be able to offer kids these great motivating options. It is amazing how hard kids work to earn these days and how much homework we get turned in. A small 30 minute play time with friends does wonders for morale and also is good for student health.
Thanks again for all you do!”

Basic Needs Met
Funded Jan 9, 2024Thank you so much for the generous donation to my classroom. My students were so excited that they were able to have some snacks to take home after school. Some of them also were thankful that they could eat something before sports practice as well. My kids love having a variety of snacks to choose from and so this project came at the perfect time.
Donorschoose.org has been a blessing to my room and with such generous and continued support, it has allowed my kids to excel and not have to worry about being hungry.
Thanks again for everything!”

Funded Dec 24, 2023Thank you so much for providing a variety of snacks for my students to enjoy in the classrooms. I have already opened some of it and have started to share it with students when they do a nice job and work hard. Sometimes having that small piece of candy or granola bar for motivation is all the encouragement students need to plug away and get the job done.
It really is a challenging thing we are asking students to do each day. I am so proud of my classes and know they are really excited about having a treat now and then. Thanks again for all of your support.
Our classroom has been blessed by the generosity of others. We really do appreciate all that you do for students!”

Creative Creation
Funded Nov 28, 2023Words cannot express enough how thankful I am to Donorschoose.org. Time and time again this organization and its thousands and thousands of donors have blessed my classroom with essential items that are used daily.
My students are more organized because they can keep their work in a binder in the classroom. They don't have to waste valuable time looking for their writing samples, direction forms, and samples because they are all in one place. They keep these items in the plastic sleeves that have been provided through this grant. In addition, the posterboard will get used for group projects, which the students love doing.
Another thing that is great about the sleeves, it allows students to keep all important projects and writing samples in one place, and then at the end of the school year, they can take them home to share with their parents. Parents and students alike enjoy seeing all they have accomplished in the school year. Thanks again for your support!”

Funded Nov 28, 2023Thank you so much for the wonderful thank you cards that I will have my students use to send thank you cards to previous teachers and their parents. Writing thank you cards is such a good life skill that will carry over in the future. So many people fail to thank people when they are given something or something nice is done for them. I think this skill is critical for students to learn.
Thanks also for the various treats that were supplied. I know my students love getting a little treat once they complete a project or an assignment. Thanks again for all that you do to support students!”

Funded Nov 28, 2023Thank you so much for the amazing donations! I needed more tape and have already used one roll to hang the latest projects. The kids are excited and they look amazing! These items came at the perfect time, which was during district testing and immediately students wanted to work to earn them. One student even asked if she could do extra reading lessons to earn more. How awesome is that?
My classroom is truly blessed to have such amazing support from so many donors who have given to my classroom repeatedly. It has also been nice to have the needed supplies and materials to display work and reward options other than snacks, especially for those students who are hungry.
Thanks again for all that you do to support students!”

Funded Oct 11, 2023You should have seen the kids' faces today when the boxes of treats were delivered. They were so excited and right away asked me what they had to complete to earn one of the rice crispies treats. I wish I would have been able to capture those smiles for you.
My students are truly blessed to have such wonderful support from so many in the community. I wish I was better at putting words to paper to really be able to show my gratitude, just know that it is there. Because of donors choose.org, I am able to provide the necessary items that students need to find success in addition to an occasional treat. Thanks again!”

Shoot for the Stars
Funded Aug 29, 2023Thank you so much for buying a classroom set of novels for my students to enjoy. This novel, Stargirl, is part of the new curriculum and I know the students are going to love reading this.
My students are blessed to be able to have all of the resources they need in order to be successful during the school year. This would not happen without the support of donors like you and the wonderful donorschoose.org organization. I am truly blessed and thankful for all that you provide.
Thank you again for bringing learning to life for the students!”
