Snacks for Successful Learning
Funded Jan 12, 2024I want to send a sincere thank you for donating to my "Snacks for Successful Learning Project". Your generous donation has made a great impact on my students.
Not every family is able to provide a snack for the child on a daily basis. I have found a mid morning snack helps my students focus better during instruction. The snacks that have been provided has allowed all of my students to enjoy that mid- morning snack, which has also helped them to focus on instruction rather than the fact that they do not have a snack to get them to lunch time.
We are so appreciative of these snacks.
I want to also thank Herb Kohl Philanthropies for all of my students to feel equal to each other by proving snacks to all of my student.”

Funded Oct 11, 2023Thank you for your generosity in donating to my classroom project! When we finally opened all of the boxes of supplies the students were in shock to see how many supplies there actually were. When I tell the students that these supplies are donated by people that do not even know them, they feel so loved that people would do that for them.
Many students do not come with school supplies, so being able to supply every students with a chair pocket full of supplies was a wonderful feeling. When everyone in my class has the opportunity to have all the needed supplies it creates a sense of equality within my classroom.
We truly appreciate everything you have done for us!”

Funded Jun 27, 2023I want to say thank you so much for funding my project. These chair organizers help us out in so many different ways in our classroom!
Students have very little space for their supplies as each student has a table with no storage space rather than a traditional desk. Students are proud of how they are able to keep all of their materials organized in their own space.
I also find that the students take much better care of their supplies when they have them organized and easily accessible. Thank you again for providing the opportunity for my students to have these outstanding organizers”

Snacks for Success
Funded Dec 31, 2022I want to sincerely thank you for your generous donation towards my classroom project "Snacks for Success". I created this project because I had many students coming to school that have not eaten enough for breakfast - whether it was from home or school. I noticed that at about 10:00 they were hungry for a small snack. I was struggling to keep buying snacks for 30 kids every other day. Your donation is making a huge improvement in my classroom. The students are able to focus a bit more on their work after having a small snack. It is also wonderful that no child is left without a snack, which can often happen when students are allowed to bring their own snacks. My students look forward to a snack anytime it is offered. We appreciate all you have done to make this project a reality for our classroom.”

Supplies For Learning!
Funded Sep 30, 2022I want to thank you for your generosity in donating crucial supplies to my students. The most important part of becoming a successful learner starts with the basic school supplies. With the donation of crayons, markers, colored pencils and pencils, my students have been able to put aside their worries if not having the needed supplies and focus on their learning. One of the most favorite supplies they have received are the water colors! They have all brought out their artistic talents with these water colors. It is amazing to watch and see the learning that is happening in our classroom! We can't thank you enough!”

This classroom project was brought to life by LOFT and one other donor.Make Reading and Math Fun!
Funded Apr 28, 2022I want to thank you for your generous donations to our classroom. We were all so excited to open the boxes from Donors Choose when they came. I did not tell the students what was coming, so they were extremely excited. They loved every single item I pulled out of the box! We used the reading and math games every day in our classroom. The students loved them so much so that they even chose these learning games to play during indoor recess times. Each student said, "I just love playing these games! I can't believe someone who doesn't even know us cared enough to buy us these games. That's cool!" That says it all! It is not only about the materials, it is the fact that they understand how much others care about their learning. I plan to continue to use these learning games for years to come.”
