Replacing Our Last Four Desks!
Funded Dec 8, 2016I would like to begin by saying how grateful my students and I are for the monetary donation that was made in order for us to finally have wonderful, new desks in our classroom. When the secretary called to tell us that our delivery had arrived, the students were very excited that the rest of our project was going to be completed and that our classroom would finally have all new desks. After the delivery arrived, we found out we were two desks short because of availability, but Donors Choose was great to work with and we were able to get a new table in place of the two unavailable desks. Students can now work here as well when doing projects together.
With our old desks, I was continuously seeing pencil marks all over the desk and in the scratches where, over the years, the students had not taken good care of them. Now they are kept clean and neat ninety-nine percent of the time. The children eat breakfast in the classroom and who wouldn't be excited to have a clean desk on which to put your breakfast? They have been very pleased to finally have something new for our classroom. They also like the fact that we now have desks that all match.
Classroom projects will now be much easier to complete when the desks can be put together in groups. On many occasions, we had desks that were various sizes pushed together making it hard to work on uneven surfaces. Now that all three of my projects have been funded, we feel like we are in a brand new classroom!!”

Funded Apr 15, 2016Dear Donors,
I would like to begin by saying how grateful my students and I are for the monetary donation that was made in order for us to finally have wonderful, new desks in our classroom. When the secretary called to tell us that our delivery had arrived, the students were very curious to know just what that delivery was going to be.
The desks were set up during my planning period so when the students came back to class for the end of the day they all wanted to sit in the new desks. With our old desks, I was continuously seeing pencil marks all over the desk and in the scratches where, over the years, the students had not taken good care of them. Now they are kept clean and neat ninety-nine percent of the time. The children eat breakfast in the classroom and who wouldn't be excited to have a clean desk on which to put your breakfast?

Classroom projects will now be much easier to complete when the desks can be put together in groups. On many occasions, we had desks that were various sizes pushed together making it hard to work on uneven surfaces. Even though it is the end of the year, we are excited to have these desks to welcome a new group of seventh graders to school in two months to begin another year of learning.”
