Color Our World
Funded Oct 31, 2019Thank you so much for your generosity in funding our project. Your support is crucial in giving my students access to tools that they need to be successful.
My students were so happy to be able to complete their projects and print them in school. No longer do they have the problem of having to get to the library before it closes, or pay to have their papers printed.
They not only print their work for my Social Studies class but also other classes. They are handing in their work on time which is bringing up their grades. No longer do we hear It can't get to a printer to print my work'. Now they come during recess or after to print their work, all because you gave us this wonderful gift. Thanks!”

Creating A Colorful World
Funded Aug 14, 2019Having a color printer readily accessible to my students has been a blessing. I no longer have to wait past the due date for projects to be completed. Once they are done, they immediately send the work from their chrome books to our wireless Epson printer.
Having the color printer in the classroom eliminated the problem of waiting to go to the library, which for some of my students is difficult getting to, or searching to see if someone has a color printer. No more late assignments everything is handed in on time without the hassle of running after students to get their work in on time.
The students are not more motivated and excited to complete their work and hand in a beautiful creative display. With this tool in place, it maximizes on task time.”

Funded Feb 28, 2019Our Photography Club has flourished since we received our camera. What started out as a simple request to be able to give our students the ability to feel like photographer has boomed into a thriving program. Not only are our students able to take photos for our yearbook, but they are also getting requests to have them take photos of teachers with their classes. They have now given the responsibility of taking Student of the Month photos as well as new students who attend our school. We have students requesting to join our club because of the new camera we received. Students feel important and take pride in taking the best possible pictures.
The small gesture of your donation has had an amazing impact on my afterschool program. Students are begging to join the club. They feel that they are being taken seriously in allowing them to fulfill a passion of taking pictures. The idea of using a professional digital camera and then uploading their pictures to our school website has instilled pride and joy in my students. I”

Funded Dec 20, 2016Technology has become an element that most students have access either at school or at home. Access to the Internet connects my students to an array of information, giving them the ability to learn at their own pace.
I am able to download different enrichment apps that my students, especially my special needs, can use as an intervention. I have students that are below benchmark in both literacy and math, having them work on these kindles individually, helps keep them focused so that they can learn. Having the kindles, allows center time to be more productive.
As you can see my students are eager to learn when its their turn at center time to use the kindles. They have ignited a fire of learning with my students. Their reading levels as well as math skills have dramatically increased since we received the kindles. It has made my struggling readers feel more successful with decoding and fluency and computation. They are able to explore developmentally appropriate software programs in a playful and supportive environment. They have also been able to connect to various software available online such as EPIC reading, SPLASHMATH, ABCMOUSE, and STARFALL, just to name a few.
Your generous donations have impacted my students this year more than I can express. Thank you for bringing this great gift of technology to into my classroom”
