  • Help Us Expand Our Computational Thinking!!

    Funded Feb 28, 2018

    We want to thank you so much for your generosity. We are overwhelmed with gratitude. With your help we will now be able to expand our computational thinking, create digital projects, and use instructional media. STEM is so important for students in this day and age and now these very amazing students with special needs will have the opportunity to engage in 21st century skills! Again, thank you, and we will send you pictures after we get the Chrome books to show you what we've done! Our classroom is a better place because of your awesome contribution.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Valdez

  • Help Us Create A High Tech Learning Environment!

    Funded Dec 20, 2016

    My students and I are incredibly grateful for your generous donation of Chrome books to our class. This addition of technology to our class has been paramount to their success in school. We have already used them for a variety of activities in class. We use them for test prep and in class assignments, but what is most enjoyable for my students is using them for playing educational games and Online math competitions.

    Our school is populated with students who more often then not are socioeconomically disadvantaged. Not every student has access to a computer in his or her home, so coming to school is the only time they have access to these resources. Your donation has given my students another reason to enjoy coming everyday.

    It's because of donors like you that our students have a fighting chance in this competitive world. We couldn't so it without you. Thank you so much for being so generous.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Valdez

  • Help Us Get High Tech and Ready For High School

    Funded Mar 29, 2016

    I can't fully express my joy, excitement, and thanks for your donation to my project. It is great to see that you share my vision for reaching children. The

    use of technology is growing evermore important and these tools will give the students the experience they need to be successful.

    The tools that you have funded will enable students to do research, type essays, access intervention materials and improve their computer skills for testing. In addition, I will be able to differentiate instruction and provide alternate access to concepts in class.

    I am so excited to begin using these tools in class with my students. Thank you so much.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Valdez

    This classroom project was brought to life by #BestSchoolDay and 6 other donors.
I have a group of 7th and 8th-grade middle school students that have special needs. They are predominantly male, but there are a few female students. Students at this school have a higher risk for exposure to violence and poverty based on the community and environment. These kids are fighters. They have a lot of odds to beat. Sometimes they mess up, but they are only asking for help in the only way they know how. They are funny and clever and they love to be social. The students are exposed to old, used and torn down items and would love upgraded tools. The students in my classroom are in need of additional supports and motivators to meet their essential academic needs and individualized educational plans. The majority of the students in the program have a specific learning disability and need accommodations such as text to speech software, scribe software, and calculators.
