  • Tools for Success!

    Funded May 2, 2019

    Our students and I are very excited to have received your generous donation. The backpacks, pencils, erasers, and pencils will assist our undeserved student population. Some of our students come from low-income households or others are homeless. They are not able to afford new backpacks or school supplies for the incoming school year and others need supplies through out the school year. Your generous donation will help our students be ready and prepared to learn.

    Students were very eager to see what was in the boxes! They were delighted to see the new backpacks and school supplies. Their faces were filled with smiles and their eyes got wider as they opened the boxes. All you could hear was, "Wow, I love this color backpack" and "Oh, look at the mechanical pencils!" It was like an early Christmas for them. :)

    This truly motivates them to start the new school year with an optimistic look on life. Having school supplies psychologically prepares them for their academic year. With the help of generous donors like you our students are ready for a new school year and are more likely to feel confident.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Lua

    This classroom project was brought to life by The Peterson Family and 3 other donors.
  • Sweatshirts for All

    Funded Sep 22, 2018

    Thank you very much for donating to our project, "Sweatshirts for All." We were so excited when the boxes arrived at school. People don't realize how much sweatshirts are part of a student's life essentials, especially during a cold and wet winter, like we had this year. Even without this year's weather, since our school is located close to the beach, the temperature drops quite a bit and many students go to the school's "lost and found" to see if they can find a sweatshirt or jacket that has been unclaimed. But now, with your generosity, 30 students have new sweatshirts that look and feel good! These students are now concentrating on their studies instead of a way to stay warm and dry.”

  • Sweatshirts Are Essential

    Funded May 19, 2018

    Thank you very much for donating to our project, " Sweatshirts Are Essential." So many of our students have not been able to afford to buy clothing for school, especially warm clothing. This year has been especially wet and cold. We haven't seen this type of weather in a long time. However, since our school is located close to the beach, it is always chilly. The students that received the sweatshirts from this project were truly grateful for the warmth they provided. Now they have been able to concentrate on their lessons, instead of focusing on how to stay warm.”

  • Keeping The Kids Warm... Essentials For Life

    Funded Jan 1, 2017

    My students and I are so incredibly thankful for your donations. As I mentioned before they are truly wonderful and great students, but many are lacking basic everyday essentials. Providing them with the sweatshirts helps them focus and put all their energy towards their education. Allowing them the opportunity to not have to worry about something so basic opens the doors for them to concentrate on their future. There are no words to express our gratitude for all the donors and their families. Again thank you very much from all of us!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Lua

Our students are getting fed, but many other life essentials are lacking in their lives. In the winter, many of our students do not have jackets or sweaters. Lack of these "life essentials" is obvious and distracts from their ability to concentrate on their studies. Many of our families have to choose between food or a sweater for their child. Sometimes the child is forced to stay home to avoid the cold weather. By having a few warm hooded pullover sweatshirts available for our students, we can reduce the fear of cold weather and increase their attendance. This will boost their self confidence and allow them to focus on being the best they can be. Our students may not have all their basic needs met, but they still work hard at school and do the best they can. Just imagine what they can do if they are not worrying about being cold or wet! They will be able to concentrate on the important things in school. They are the future leaders!
