  • Back to School Galore

    Funded Jun 13, 2023

    The initial reaction of our students when they saw the new materials was one of sheer excitement and curiosity. The vibrant Mini Backpack quickly became a class favorite as the students couldn't wait to take turns caring for our stuffed tiger class pet. The colorful carpet spots added a playful touch to our classroom décor, and the students loved identifying their designated spots. They were particularly thrilled with the crayon storage containers as they could now easily access their crayons for creative projects without the usual mess and hassle. The 100 Pocket Chart, with its interactive pockets, sparked their interest and has become an invaluable tool for engaging them in math concepts.”

  • Organization Caddies

    Funded May 8, 2023

    Our caddies have had an immediate and positive impact on our daily classroom experience. One specific moment that stands out is when we began our poetry journals and writing folders. These journals serve as a place for students to record their poems and practice fluency. The caddies, with their ample storage space, allowed students to neatly organize their notebooks, crayons, and other materials, making it easy to retrieve and use them for this project. As a result, our students were not only more organized but also more engaged.”

  • Book Nook

    Funded Mar 30, 2023

    One of the most exciting new products for our students is the document camera. This tool allows us to project our read-alouds onto a large screen, making it easy for all students to see the text and illustrations clearly. Students have commented that they feel more engaged with the story when they can see the pictures and read along with the teacher.

    Finally, the banners and supplies that were donated will allow us to create an immersive and engaging thematic book nook for our students. For many students, picking out a new book can be difficult and overwhelming. By creating an inviting space dedicated to different themes and genres, we hope to help students feel more comfortable exploring new books and discovering new authors. Overall, we are incredibly grateful for these donations, which have had a real and positive impact on our students' learning.”

  • Classroom Basics and Beyond!

    Funded May 9, 2023

    I wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for your generous donation towards our STEM materials project. Thanks to your support, our students now have access to a plethora of hands-on materials that will enhance their understanding and interest in science, technology, engineering, and math.

    As soon as the packages arrived, we could see the excitement on their faces. They eagerly opened the boxes to explore the various tools and devices, experimenting and asking endless questions until they had a thorough grasp of each tool's capabilities. It was inspiring to watch them connect with the equipment, and their interest in STEM has only grown since then.

    Once again, we are deeply grateful for your contribution to our project. Thanks to donors like you, we can offer our students an exceptional STEM learning experience that will prepare them for success in a rapidly evolving world.”

    Funded Apr 6, 2023

    When the supply boxes arrived, my students were ecstatic. They were thrilled to have a designated space to store their supplies, and they immediately began organizing and personalizing their boxes.

    Now with these new additions my students have everything at their finger tips and our classroom transitions are able to run smoothly!

    Thanks to the generosity of our donors, my students now have the tools they need to be successful and organized in our class. We are excited to continue using these new resources to enhance our learning experience.”

  • 1st Grade Joy

    Funded Feb 8, 2023

    Our students were extremely excited when they first saw the new materials. They couldn't wait to get their hands on the canvases and start creating. They were also thrilled about the voice amplifier and one of my students included it in their illustration of me.

    Your willingness to support our school means so much to us. We are humbled and grateful for your generosity. We can't thank you enough for your invaluable help in funding this project. These supplies have made a huge difference in the way our students learn and develop.

    Thanks to your generous donation, we were able to fund this project and bring it to life. We are so grateful for your support and belief in our classroom.

    My students will now have the opportunity to take home a physical memory book to remember all the fun and learning we have had this year. Your contribution has truly made a difference in our student's lives and we cannot thank you enough.

    On behalf of my students and myself, I would like to express our sincere gratitude for your support. Thank you so much for your donation and for believing in our vision for this project.”

  • Nonfiction Book & Graphic Novels

    Funded Mar 9, 2023

    This project unlocked so many opportunities for my students. I could not keep our new books on the shelf. My students have been reading these books nonstop. In addition, each student was able to select an animal to complete a research project on. The books you donated to our class library helped to provide students with nonfiction books to learn facts about their animals. Students then were able to become authors and illustrators and created their own animal books. The feedback I received from families warmed my heart and it was all thanks to donors like you!”

    With gratitude,

Technology has the potential to revolutionize my daily classroom instruction. I currently only have five computers, and they are constantly being used. My students are eager to learn beyond the walls of our classroom. With the fulfillment of my project, my students will be able to access online resources using five new iPads. Project based learning is a major component of our classroom instruction in order to develop lifelong learners and researchers. These tablets would be used daily to provide students with a means to research and discover. This project will drastically impact the lives of each and every one of my students.
