  • Make It an EXCITING September!

    Funded Sep 7, 2023

    A big thank you from the both of us and our students. We are overwhelmed with gratitude at how generous you are as donors and we hope that we are able to properly express our thanks! These items will help students individually as well as helping them as a whole.

    We cannot begin to express how truly grateful we are for not only your extremely generous donations but also all of your thoughtful words of strong support and encouragement towards us as teachers, and all of our students.

    Once again, even though there are not enough words to express how touched we are to have this amazing support, we would like to thank you for your generosity and your sharing of our vision for a positive environment for learning. Thank you so much. You may not see the impact your support has on a daily basis, but we do, and it is nothing short of amazing!”

  • Back to Basics for September!

    Funded Nov 10, 2019

    First off, thank you for supporting this project and bringing something that may seem so simple into our classroom. Basic classroom supplies are something that many people do not even realize make a huge impact. Classrooms do not come packed to the brim with supplies for us. Usually these supplies are bought with money from our own pockets. However, sometimes that is just not financially feasible. It's also not always something families can provide their children with throughout the year.

    The students were ecstatic when we told them about the project and even more excited when they heard it had been funded! They were so excited when the box came and eager to start adding our library stickers and start organizing. We need more book baskets now! They can't wait to place the new books into our library! The books we chose ranged from classics that my teacher and I loved to read (Roald Dahl and Beverly Cleary) to the new "future classics" (The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series is very popular read in our class!!) and are sure to captivate our eager readers!

    A box full of stickers has been quite a motivating tool so far as well! The moment the students saw what was in the box they were already excited about receiving stickers for good behavior, and getting them on their tests when they receive high grades. Anything that motivates students to work harder is always welcome in this classroom!

    Again, even though there are not enough words to express how touched I am to have this amazing support, I would like to thank you for your generosity and your sharing of my vision for a positive environment for learning. Thank you so much. You may not see the impact your support has on a daily basis, but I do, and it is nothing short of amazing!"”

  • Come In! Sit Down! Print!

    Funded Nov 11, 2019

    A big thank you from myself, and my students. I am overwhelmed with gratitude at how generous you are as donors and I hope that I am able to properly express my thanks! The printer is allowing my students to print their projects and learn how to use technology on an everyday basis. Many of my students were so excited about the new seating options and love to use them throughout the day. They truly enjoy having flexible seating in our classroom and they have a variety of options now because of you! These items will help students individually as well as helping them as a whole.

    I cannot begin to express how truly grateful I am for not only your extremely generous donations but also your all of your thoughtful words of strong support and encouragement towards myself, and all of my students.

    Thanks to your kindness and generosity - this is once again a possibility!! The students were ecstatic when we told them about the project and even more excited when they heard it had been funded!

    Once again, even though there are not enough words to express how touched I am to have this amazing support, I would like to thank you for your generosity and your sharing of my vision for a positive environment for learning.

  • On TOP of Getting New LapTOPS!

    Funded Dec 3, 2018

    A big thank you from myself, and my students. I am overwhelmed with gratitude at how generous you are as donors and I hope that I am able to properly express my thanks! These Chromebooks are allowing my students to explore new things and learn how to use technology on an everyday basis. Many of my students only have access to a computer in school and to add that into our classroom on an everyday basis is giving them another resource in the classroom. These items will help students individually as well as helping them as a whole.

    I cannot begin to express how truly grateful I am for not only your extremely generous donations but also your all of your thoughtful words of strong support and encouragement towards myself, and all of my students.

  • September Ready!

    Funded Aug 22, 2018

    A big thank you from myself, and my students. I am overwhelmed with gratitude at how generous you are as donors and I hope that I am able to properly express my thanks! Our classroom is often lacking basic supplies like pens, pencils, and notebooks. These things are the foundation of being ready to learn! Having these items ready in the classroom will ensure that all of our students will have the equal opportunities since some students are not able to get these items on their own. These items will help students individually as well as helping them as a whole.

    I cannot begin to express how truly grateful I am for not only your extremely generous donations but also your all of your thoughtful words of strong support and encouragement towards myself, and all of my students.

  • Mathematicians in Need of Supplies!!

    Funded Nov 28, 2017

    A big thank you from myself, and my students. I am overwhelmed with gratitude at how generous you are as donors and I hope that I am able to properly express my thanks! Our classroom is often lacking hands on interactions with three-dimensional manipulatives to help facilitate their learning of new mathematical concepts. With this classroom easel my students now throughout the day have a visual guide in their learning experience. The easel allows directions, charts and other visuals aids to be provided to my students on a daily basis. This project has allowed my children with a creative way to discuss their mathematical reasoning and thinking that enables them to find multiple ways to solve math problems, and helps them to demonstrate new knowledge and skills. With the use of these new dry eraser boards my students have an alternate way to solve math problems. I cannot begin to express how truly grateful I am for not only your extremely generous donations but also your all of your thoughtful words of strong support and encouragement towards myself, and all of my students.

    Thanks to your kindness and generosity - this is once again a possibility!! The students were ecstatic when we told them about the project and even more excited when they heard it had been funded!

    As we know, classrooms do not always provide exactly what will be needed throughout the year. Often classroom libraries are books that have been passed down through the years. The condition of these books, however, do not fair very well! The in-and-out of the shelves and baskets, being stuffed into desks and backpacks certainly takes its toll on our poor library books. This summer we spent a great deal of time before the year began trying to organize our library and weed out any books that had missing pages and torn covers. We also realized that many of our books were much older and sadly, turned out to not interesting to many of our students. As the year continued we saw that many of these books were not captivating our students. This is tragic especially when you have students who are already disinterested in reading. Another problem was the level of our books. Our diverse class reads on such a large scale of of levels that our books needs cover all of their reading capabilities! Thanks to your kindness and generosity - this is once again a possibility!! The students were ecstatic when we told them about the project and even more excited when they heard it had been funded!
