  • Open Up A Book By The Coolest Cat In The Hat

    Funded Feb 8, 2023

    I would like to start by expressing my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your generous donations to my project, "Open Up A Book By The Coolest Cat In The Hat". Your contributions allowed me to provide my students with some amazing stories that will help to foster a love for reading and help to promote reading fluency. My students as they received their Dr. Seuss book, pencil, and erasers had the most happiest faces I've seen in such a long time. This year's Read Across America was a blast your generous donations was the Coolest of All The Cats.”

  • A Little Treasure For Hard Workers

    Funded Feb 8, 2023

    My student absolutely love the items they are able to choose from the treasure box. They are working on their best behaviors. The younger students are enjoying the different selections to pick out of the box and the older students as they walk into the classroom are looking to see what they will pick out of the box. Each morning all the students are looking to see what different items did I put in the box for the day. Once they spot what they want they positive changes begins. I don't have to keep repeating myself on what they need to do. After the treasure box is place in full view of everyone they sit up and listen to the instructions for the lessons.”

  • Little Tigers Need Snacks and to Be Clean!

    Funded Nov 22, 2021

    Thank you to the donors for all you have done for my students. I work in a low income area where the students usually come to school hungry. To make sure the students can focus and able to do their class work, I like giving them a little snack so they have something on their stomach. As we know it can be hard to concentrate on doing the school work when you are hungry. Also, we the students are learning the proper ways to keep clean. To keep healthy we are learning that we need to wash our hands and keep them out of our face. Everything will be used with love.”

  • Little Tigers Need Ink!!

    Funded Nov 22, 2021

    I really appreciate your donation of the ink. I work the exceptional education students in my school. The ink will be greatly used to help with printing the IEPs, reports, and projects for my students. The computer in my class sometimes cannot find the main printer in the school therefore I use the printer in my classroom.

    This ink will assist me on been able to print in my classroom. I will not have to go to another classroom or library to use a computer that is connected to the main printer in the school. I'm able to print IEPs and other forms in my class.

    My students have to do projects for class. We are able now to print different articles and pictures in color. We are able to make our work look in color. Words can never express how grateful I am for all you have done for my students and me.”

    Thank you for the wonderful donations for this project. It means a lot for my children. To be able to see the end product of our work is wonderful for the students. A lot of my students are visual, so being able to see it in print is very helpful for them. They have been able to print their projects and lesson for their other teachers as well. They always get excited when I tell them about our funders. They ask me who are they? I just tell them concerned people from around the country. Thank you so much once again for helping me help my students.”

  • We Need To Clean This Virus Away!!

    Funded Aug 11, 2020

    Thank you so much for all that you have done for the students and me. It is amazing to have someone who do not know you to actually help you in these uncertain times. Cleanliness is so important in this virus environment. The hand sanitizer, paper towels, mask and other supplies will come into great usage. We as teachers spend so much of our own monies to take care of our classrooms. This helps so much in this pandemic. Hopefully we will all be able to stay safe. Thank you so much for all of your help once again.”

You have made a major impact on the future by paying it forward with my students.”
