  • Morning Meeting

    Funded Oct 11, 2023

    This rug has been such a welcomed gift! The students now have a comfortable place to sit and learn! The rug makes it easier for the students to do whole group instruction where before they would have to sit at their desks and some would not be able to see the board. It also gives them a place to sit where their clothes will stay clean. It's so nice yo have a place for the students to meet and gather and feel at home. It has changed the whole flow and feel of our classroom. It now feels like a home!”

    All of your donations have really made our class feel like a home! We use the donations everyday from pencils to the bins for the books. The students love coming to school everyday because it feels warm and full of love. Our room would have been very bare without your generous donation. The kids love coming into our room to see how nicely decorated it is. We get so many compliments everyday on the beauty of what you donated is! The pencils have been a great help the school is low on supplies this year and without you they wouldn't have anything to write with!”

  • Writing Workshop

    Funded May 13, 2017

    Thank you very much for your donations. You have actually impacted two separate classes and schools. I was working at one school last year and we used the dictionaries, pens and post its. I am now at another school and the sharpener really benefited that classroom. The students were all so excited about the supplies. They couldn't believe the generosity!

    We used all of your supplies when it came to the writing workshop. They loves getting to use the colored pens to edit their work. It really helped them be able to see their corrections and it helped them improve their writing. The post its worked really well for us with teacher notes to the students.

    Thank you!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Cernera

Since this is a new school we didn't start off this year having all of the supplies we needed. I want my students to be able to have the best of everything. Writing is what my students need to work on the most because for some of them this is the first time they are being exposed to writing And I want to make it fun for them. We have very little in the way of writing materials for these students. Dictionaries would come in great help for these students who are struggling with their spelling. Writing is so important for these students to be well rounded students. We will be using the pencils for the students to actually write their writing workshop essays. These students don't have much and they are always running out of pencils. The color pens will be used for the students to edit their own work as well as peer edit those around them. The colored pens will make them excited about editing. The Post Its will be used for the students to give each other feed back on how they can better their essays. I believe that students learn equally as much from their peers as they do from adults.
