• Caring for Our Community

  Funded Apr 2, 2025

  Thank you so much for supporting my classroom! By involving middle school students in a service project that addresses mental health, we are not only empowering them to take an active role in their own well-being but also educating and fostering a culture of support within our community. Research shows that when we cooperate and show kindness to our fellow humans, we become healthier, happier and more successful. This project is going to allow us to to help these veterans to increase their sense of hope in the world. We truly appreciate your support in this project! Thank you again!”

• Mental Health Matters

  Funded Nov 7, 2024

  Thank you so much once again for your generous donations to my classroom. Since my school is an inner city schools, some of my students come to school hungry. Having snacks for them truly helps them to get through their day peacefully. I also have students who have difficulty coping with the day to day activities and things like stress balls and fidgets help to regulate their emotions.

  The laminator I was able to purchase also helps me in the day to day classroom learning. I can laminate activities and with the use of dry erase markers we can re-use the sheets over and over again. I am also able to furnish my struggling math students with laminated multiplication charts as well as number charts for use at home and also in the classroom.

  Your continued donations truly help my classroom run smoothly and I can't thank you enough!”

• Motivational Items

  Funded Sep 28, 2024

  I cannot thank you enough for continuing to support my classroom. My students all come from low income families and they do not always receive meals at home. When they come to class sometimes they are hungry. They cannot focus when they are hungry. Having snacks in the classroom helps them to keep focused. They also fell loved when they receive a snack, even a small one!

  My students also require sensory breaks due to their learning disabilities. The Legos help them to calm themselves as well as aid in their fine and gross motor skills. Having a sensory break also helps them to maintain focus in the classroom.

  Thank you again for your continued support.”

  Thank you so much for helping my classroom with these essential resources! Classroom essentials are so important but sometimes overlooked. Due to your generosity we are able to complete projects, learn and have some fun at the same time! My students love coming to my classroom and you are all a part of the reason why!! We constantly are in the need of the hand sanitizer and cleaning wipes. My students understand the importance of using these products effectively! My classroom could not run as smoothly as it does without your donations! Thank you again.”

• Sensory Learning

  Funded Oct 11, 2023

  Thank you so much for supporting my classroom with your donations. I teach children with disabilities. They often will need a sensory break - a time where they can reset themselves. Sometime this is accomplished with the use of a sensory toy, play dough, drawing or coloring. The supplies purchased will help my students immensely.

  The attached photo shows my classroom door with a picture of some artwork my students completed with some of the items purchased through your generosity. My students love completing projects like these.

  Thank you again!”
