  • Water Bottles Needed Please!

    Funded Apr 5, 2025

    Thank you so much for supporting our classroom and funding our project, Water Bottles Needed Please! Your kindness means the world to us.

    Although some of the originally requested items were no longer available at the time the project was funded, we were able to order fantastic replacements—and let me tell you, our students were thrilled! They absolutely love their new THERMOS FUNTAINER water bottles, especially the ones in Galaxy Teal, Sonic, and Spider-Man designs. The excitement on their faces when they received them was priceless!

    Your generosity has not only provided a practical item for everyday use, but also brought joy and a sense of ownership to each student. We truly appreciate you cheering us on from the distant sidelines—your support makes a real difference in our classroom every single day.”

  • Indoor Garden!

    Funded Apr 7, 2025

    Thank you so much for your generous support of our Indoor Garden project! Your kindness and commitment to our students made this hands-on learning experience possible.

    Although some of our originally requested materials were unavailable, we were able to find excellent replacements that were even better suited to our project goals. Your contributions allowed us to purchase:

    Nitial 24 Set Spring Crafts for Kids DIY Pot Craft Kit – A fun and creative way for students to personalize their plant pots while learning about plant growth and care.

    LBW Desk Grow Light, Full Spectrum Plant Light – Perfect for giving our indoor plants the right light conditions to thrive in our classroom environment.

    Seed Needs Flower Seeds – Cosmos Crazy Blend (10+ Varieties) – We're excited to grow a vibrant mix of cosmos flowers that will bring color and life to our indoor space.

    Black Eyed Susan Seeds – Large 2,500mg Envelope (6,000 Seeds!) – A beautiful and hardy flower that will be a fantastic addition to our indoor garden.

    Thanks to you, our students are getting hands-on experience with plant science, responsibility, and the joy of watching something grow from seed to bloom. The smiles on their faces and the excitement in their voices as they check on their plants each day are all thanks to your generosity.”

  • Healthy Snacks for Star Students!

    Funded Mar 24, 2025

    Thank you so much for your generous support of our "Healthy Snacks for Star Students!" project on DonorsChoose! Your kindness brought not only delicious treats to our classroom, but also so much happiness and encouragement to our students.

    One of the biggest hits was the amazing assortment of PEZ Candy Dispensers—the kids were so excited to find both Nintendo Super Mario and Disney Princess characters in the mix! Choosing their favorites made snack time extra fun and full of smiles.

    The students also loved the healthy and tasty snack options, especially the PopCorners Popped Corn Snacks and the Skinny Pop Variety Snack Pack. The Nutella & GO! packs were a total crowd favorite, and the colorful Ring Pop Candy Lollipops added a sweet, playful touch that made everyone feel special.

    We are so happy and grateful to have donors like you cheering us on from the distant sidelines. Your support means the world to us, and it's made a lasting difference in our classroom. Thank you for helping our star students shine!”

    Funded Mar 24, 2025

    Thank you so much for your incredible support of our "Snacks for Students!" project on DonorsChoose! Because of your generosity, our classroom was filled with excitement, smiles, and so much joy.

    The students loved the Charms Fluffy Cotton Candy—it was like a carnival in the classroom! The Takis Fuego Corn Chips were a spicy favorite that had everyone talking, and the Charms Sweet & Sour Pops were a fun treat that the students couldn't get enough of.

    But the biggest surprise? The amazing assortment of PEZ Candy Dispensers! They were absolutely thrilled to receive them. The collection included so many fun characters—Mickey Mouse, a class favorite, along with Hello Kitty and SpongeBob. The kids were so excited to choose their own, and it sparked so many smiles and conversations.

    Your donations didn't just provide snacks—they created a moment of happiness and community in our classroom. Thank you for making that possible.”

  • Snacks for Students!

    Funded Mar 13, 2025

    Thank you so much for your generous support of our "Snacks for Students!" project! Your kindness truly made a difference in our classroom.

    The students were beyond excited when they saw the treats—the Welch's Fruit Snacks were an instant hit, and you should've seen their faces light up when they realized we received their favorite Pop Tarts! The giant Rainbow twisty pops brought big smiles all around—such a fun and colorful surprise! And of course, Cheez-It White Cheddar Crackers? Total crowd favorite.

    But it wasn't just about the snacks—you also helped bring creativity into our classroom. Each student was thrilled to receive their very own water paint set. We used them to make DIY Fish Windsock Decorations, and the pride they took in their artwork was truly special.

    Your generosity didn't just feed hungry bellies—it fueled creativity, joy, and a sense of being seen and cared for. From all of us, thank you for making such a meaningful impact!”
