Multicultural Chapter Books
Funded Apr 23, 2022My students are absolutely loving the chapter books and the additions to our classroom library. I had one student say "Ms. Wittmann, the girl in this book is talking about my culture!" It felt great to see the look on that child's face that told me she felt affirmed by the books in our classroom library. The books are at a variety of different reading levels as well so they are reaching many of my students this year and will for years to come. The new chapter books have helped excite my readers and give them more variety and choice in our book clubs. Having more of a variety to offer allows my students to find something they are interested in. This has created a lot more engagement during small group reading time. I could not have offered this literature to my students without your help. Your donations and support mean a lot to me but even more to all my students.”

Let's Get Our Learning On!
Funded Sep 1, 2020The materials that you helped us purchase for distance learning for our students have proved to be invaluable! Students are able to use the white boards to play morning meeting games for social emotional health, solve math problems, write a response to their reading, do a shared drawing together, and many more. The headphones have made it so much easier to hear students as they block out background noise for the other children in the room. It is amazing how many teacher friends I can hear in the background of my google meet because their student does not have the luxury of headphones. Students have been able to use the magnetic letters also to help them with their word work activities. All of the supplies have been put to very good use and have made distance learning a little more manageable and successful.
My teaching partner and I are so appreciative of your generosity. The students are very thankful as well. The look on the faces of the students when we delivered the beautifully packaged bags of supplies was priceless. I got big thank you's from the students and the families. This is all because you were so willing to donate towards this cause. We couldn't have done this and given this support to our students without your help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Get Out All the Wiggles!
Funded Sep 10, 2019Thank you for all your support in helping us fund our recess equipment. The materials have made recess more fun for all. We are also learning new sports and this has made recess more enjoyable and active for both boys and girls.
These materials are being used by all grades K-4. Each grade level uses the equipment a little differently and there are a variety of choices that support each child's interest. The materials are quality and will last a long time.
The students were very excited when the equipment was introduced to them. One student even commented "We can finally play 'real' football" in response to our flag football equipment.
We cannot thank you all enough for supporting this wish into becoming a reality for the students at Global Arts Plus.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Wittmann
