• We Care About Our Personal Care!

  Funded Sep 9, 2021

  Thank you very much for making this project a reality. During the pandemic, we need to keep individual supplies separate from those of our classmates. The book bins have helped us do this. They also help with teaching organizational skills. Additionally, we were so excited to get the necessary materials for our classroom community locker. We have had a community locker set up for several years and it was great to replenish it with items we had run out of like chapstick and deodorant. Your generosity is very appreciated!”

• Bouncy Bands for Focused Learning

  Funded Aug 23, 2021

  Thank you so much for thinking of us. The bouncy bands are always a student favorite. They allow for a movement break during times when we are seated at our desks. During the pandemic, we spend more time at our desks than usual, so the bouncy bands have become even more important. After several years, we need to replace old bands, and many were ready for replacement this year. The kids were very excited when we received our delivery and enjoyed helping to set them up. We appreciate your thoughtfulness.”

• Help for Reading and Succeeding

  Funded Jul 8, 2021

  Thank you so much for your donation. I have a great group of readers this year and they love to get their hands on new books. Opening boxes filled with books is always an exciting event.These titles have become fast favorites, and I know they will be enjoyed by many students for years to come. Your kindness in supporting my class makes a big difference. My kids give 110% every day and having access to books and supplies to help their year run smoothly makes all the difference. Thank you for thinking of us!”

• Help Us See Ourselves in the Books We Read

  Funded Mar 16, 2021

  Thank you very much for your generous donation towards these novel sets. The kids were SO excited by the graphic novels. Students have always enjoyed doing book clubs this year, but there was a newfound excitement when they got their hands on these titles. Each day they look forward to their book club time and the conversations they have had about the books have been fantastic. I have been so impressed by their comments about the plot, character development, and themes. They love the diversity represented in the titles. We have learned about refugee camps, hearing loss, and implicit biases to name a few areas. This has been my favorite Donorschoose project this year because of the journey these novels have taken the kids on, and I am truly grateful for your help.”

  Thank you so very much for the donation towards materials from Teachers Pay Teachers.

• A Safe Space to Learn Outdoors

  Funded Sep 16, 2020

  Thank you so much for your generous donation that helped make our dream of an outdoor learning space a reality. As the the fall mornings led to frost and dew on the grass, we were still able to sit comfortably on our individual stools. Earlier in the year, when it was still hot, the tents provided us with much needed shade. It was a big relief to the kids to be able to learn outdoors and be able to take mask breaks during this time. We eagerly anticipate the spring months when we will be able to fully enjoy our outdoor space again. Thank you for caring for us during this difficult school year. We are very grateful.”

• Headsets to Stay Connected While Apart

  Funded Aug 11, 2020

  Thank you for allowing my students to each have their own headset for their remote learning days this year. They have been invaluable tools by allowing us to communicate without the distraction of background noises. They also help the students hear one another clearly so that we can exchange great ideas and learn from one another. The kids were so excited to get these as a gift at the beginning of the year. Little things like these headsets make all the difference in helping us stay successful during this difficult time. Your generosity is very appreciated.”

• Making Remote Learning a Reality!

  Funded Jun 9, 2020

  Thank you so very much for your generosity in making this dream of getting technology to my kids a reality. Teaching and learning during the pandemic has presented many new challenges and I am happy that not having the appropriate technology for at home learning will not be one of them for my students. It was so important to be able to set families up with what they needed so that a hard situation could be made easier. Your kindness made a huge difference and we will continue to pay it forward!”
