  • Wonderful World of iPads!

    Funded Feb 20, 2018

    Your generous contribution helped my students get iPad cases, cords, and a charging station!! This is so important for us because little hands can do a lot of damage. Now that we have cases, there is less of a chance the students will damage the iPad. The students also LOVE the colors of the cases! It is not a big deal but they always want the "purple case" iPad!! The docking station also allows me to have an extra place to plug in iPads that won't fit in the cart. It's a neat looking and quick place to plug in the iPads so they are good to go!! T

    Thank you SO much for your generous donation!! I really appreciate it and so do the kids!!”

  • Let's Start Building!

    Funded Mar 17, 2018

    The look on the students faces when I opened these boxes of blocks was heart warming. The students were so excited to start building and have loved building ever since!! The students are not only learning about spatial reasoning and architecture but teamwork and sharing with others. I have even given the students a "free choice" reward day and most of the students (even 5th graders) choose to play with the blocks!!! The students are so proud of their creations and are so excited to show me what they have come up with!! Thank you SO much for your kind and generous donations! I KNOW the students will love these for years to come!!!”

Bloxels, uniquely unlocks students' innate creativity be leveraging something they love: video games.
