  • A Tidy Classroom and Tennis Balls

    Funded Dec 1, 2009

    Thank you so much for your donation to our school. I am well aware of the thousands of classrooms that need donations and I am thankful that you chose mine! We are a new school in an older building. My room often gets trashed from labs and the various people that utilize the space. Your donation has allowed me to put tennis balls on the bottoms of all the tables and chairs, brightening the classroom. Last night our floors were waxed and now they won't be scratched because of your donation. Even after 1 day I have noticed a huge improvement. There was less trash on the floor!!

    Not only do the tennis balls help keep the room clean, but it also prevents noise from scratching the tables and chairs across the floor. With the tennis balls students can move the furniture without making a loud noise. This helps to keep a calm atmosphere in the classroom. With twenty or more students, this is something I really appreciate!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Houston

  • Advanced Placement Env Science College Prep Course

    Funded Jun 16, 2009

    Thank you for the tremendous gift. My students have been using the easels every day for class presentations, and group discussions. This addition has added a sense of professionalism to my classroom.

    The soil testing kits have been a valuable addition to the curriculum. What was once an abstract concept, is now something that is tangible. Students are able to conduct soil testing right in the classroom without having to take a trip outside the school.

    With the current budget crisis our school is facing these materials are much appreciated. ”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Houston
