  • Colds and Flu Are Upon Us!

    Funded Mar 13, 2025

    Thank you so much! Just today I had students fighting colds looking for tissues, and I was ecstatic to have them on hand! I cannot thank you enough! It may seem like a small thing - I assure you it isn't.

    The students feel "taken care of" when they have "real" Kleenex here for them to use. A rough patch of flu has wrecked our student body and our staff over the last couple weeks. These supplies are a Godsend. I honestly think it helps them recover faster and fight off the flu better to know that they are cared about.

    Thank you so much for your generosity,”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. M.

  • Nonfiction Novel About Social Media and Teens Gives Perspective

    Funded Mar 8, 2025

    Thank you so much! This is such a Nora t story for students to consider. I am thrilled that we get to offer it to students. This is a purchase we would never get to do without the generosity of everyday people. We thank you so much for your kindness and your investment in public neighborhood schools.”

  • Magnetic Poetry Project!

    Funded Oct 3, 2024

    As soon as the magnet words were on their desks my creative writing classes were 100% engaged. That never happens in the teaching world! There's always at least one hold out. Magnetic poetry is fascinating to students and something they are all successful doing! Thank you so much for cerating that moment for my students!

    There are so many places that need our help, and we are so blessed that you chose our students to invest in. Thank you so much for valuing true public schools, teenagers, and poetry!”

  • Free and Accessible Feminine Hygiene Products

    Funded Sep 12, 2024

    Thank you so much! Our students have a more compassionate environment thanks to your generosity. Our school Safety officer told me that students already were letting each other know, "There are free tampons in the bathroom!" It may not seem super impactful to some, but that kind of kindness changes culture.

    Thank you so much for your generosity and for allowing our students to come to school and not worry about having a pad or tampon. It is such a relief to our learners and allows them to just focus on school.

    We appreciate you so much!”

  • Creative Writing Clipboards

    Funded Aug 21, 2024

    This is so exciting! The boards are here already! I am so excited to go on writing excursions with the Creative Writing students! We take trips outside into nature, we look at artwork in the school and write about it. We do journalism exercises where we go out and do interviews. We imagine characters coming into our school. These boards will get so much use in Creative Writing! Thank you so much!

    Also, they are being kept in the English Department room, where all classes can use them at any point. The amount of use the boards will get . . . your money will be well spent! Thank you so much for your support of public education!”

  • Mental Health Boost!

    Funded Aug 12, 2024

    Thank you so much for funding our proposal! Giving freshmen fidget spinners will help with the stress and potentially help with the anxiety that accompanies it. Thank you for your concern for their mental health!

    We are also enjoying the art supplies! Thank you so much! They have already been used in countless projects from Econ to English to student council nominations to kids who like to doodle!

    And! Our Halloween Dance will be the best! I am so excited! An all-school event for students where they can dress in costume and enjoy the festivities is going to be a highlight!

    Thank you so much for caring about our students and their mental health!”

  • Uplifting Students!

    Funded Aug 12, 2024

    Thank you so much for providing healthy snacks for my students that they can access anytime they feel hungry; no questions; no explanations. It is wonderful to have a snack cupboard for students to access!

    Because of the rising costs and stagnant salaries, I can no longer afford to purchase these necessary items. It is such a boost to students' mental health to have food at the ready! Students families struggle sometimes, and sometimes . . . it's just a long day with long gaps between meals. Your donation has helped us meet students most baisc needs. Thank you so much!”

  • Making a Memorable Year!

    Funded Aug 12, 2024

    Thank you so much for the excitement you brought to our school! We are hosting a school wide UNO tournament to start off the year! Complete with Giant Uno card prizes! It may sound silly, but it is such an uplift for kids to have something to look forward to - even something silly like an Uno tournament.

    Other events to follow include a pinewood derby and a Giant Jenga tournament! So much fun you have given us!

    It is a boost to student mental health to have fun activities lined up that they can be a part of and enjoy!

    Thank you so much!”

I teach at a public high school in a rural blue-collar Alaskan town. We have many students whose families struggle financially, our community struggles with alcoholism, meth addictions, casual racism, and violence. Still, our students are awesome: they work hard; they play hard; they are passionate about their hobbies, and their sports, and their music, and their friends; they are fiercely loyal to their families; and they try hard to be good people. They are not always connected to school, but that's on us. We need to improve what we offer, and make the connections to their lives more apparent. Despite budget cuts giving us larger classes, fewer offerings, fewer supplies, and fewer choices, we have to find ways to make school more intriguing, more relevant, and just more fun. DonorsChoose helps a great deal.
