    Thank you so much for choosing my classroom to donate to! The new ink in our class allows me to print everyday material for my students. Printer ink is such a valuable thing to have in a classroom! The ink allows me to print individualized material for students, charts and class materials.

Students playing together are also learning social skills such as taking turns, listening to one another and practicing manners. As well as practicing their english! My students are loving the games.

  • No Germs Here!

    Funded Sep 19, 2024

    Thank you so much for our paper towels, tissues, Clorox wipes and hand sanitizer. Everyday my kiddos are able to use these supplies to stop spreading germs. This allows them to stay in school more and be absent less. My kids are grateful to have these supplies and know exactly where they can find them in the classroom and how to use them. They are learning responsibility by cleaning up their messes. They are even quick to replenish the supplies when we are low. They head to the closet and grab a new box from supplies we received. This prevents kids needing to take extra trips out of the room to go find a tissue and spend more time learning.”

  • Everyday Supplies!

    Funded Apr 27, 2024

    Thank you so much for spoiling my students with all our new materials! They were so excited to hear that we had a donor choose project funded. They helped me carry all the boxes upstairs. They were smiling from ear to ear as we brought them into the classroom. My students insisted that we needed to film an unboxing video to show everyone in the school what we received from your generosity. We've already started using the supplies you gave us. Today we printed out all their essays that they just completed last week. I hung them up on the bulletin board in the hallway for everyone to see. Thank you again so much for choosing my project to fund.”
