  • Success for All

    Funded Jan 21, 2023

    I would like to start saying thank you. This project impacted my students immensely. My students have been able to do different activities with the usable writable sheets. my parents also felt the release especially because they are from a low income community. Any help is always appreciated especially in these times of need.

    The students are very excited to use the writable folders, gives them the opportunity to write and practice strategies without all the marking on their paper. The teacher also used them to model for the students and since I am pulling groups when meeting their needs the folders are very necessary.

    I has been able to provide copies to my students since we have been short in books with all the changes in curriculum. The help was super necessary and I have been able to see the light in my students eyes. Now they are worry free and thanks to you they know that they are able to use a variety of needed resources.”

  • Organize and Enjoy

    Funded Jul 29, 2021

    There is no words to express how thankful I was with this donation. Thanks to this donation my students can take the books home and I am able to keep track of the books returned to school. This allows them to take turn to take their favorite books home.

    My students are able to keep the classroom organize and I am able to transition between classes with all the materials they are going to need for the class. These materials allow my students to travel within the class with organization and also with the freedom to know that they will put things on the correct place. They feel comfortable and happy to be able to enjoy an organized library and classroom. ”

  • Successful Classroom

    Funded Jul 23, 2021

    I want to start saying thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your donations helped my students a lot. My students use these materials on a daily basis. Since some of my parents are not able to provide these materials, this donations helped out a lot. With these material my students are able to glue and highlight important information when doing their assignments. My students are also grateful for this donation and what it means to them. They have learned the important to give and that others outside their household considers their education and needs a priority. Once again thank you for taking the time to demonstrate that education matters and that helping others have a reward.”

  • Safe Return to Our Classroom

    Funded Aug 4, 2020

    There is no words to express how thankful I was with this donation. Thanks to this donation my students came back to school knowing that despite the odds they were going to be safe inside my classroom. Parents were able to stay at ease knowing that all appropriate measurements were taken to ensure the children were safe during this time of uncertainty.

    My students have been able to come to school, learn and participate with their peers in a safe learning environment without having to be concern with safety. Parents were assure that even if they didn't have the means to provide one mask on a daily basis, their children will have a brand new mas awaiting for them in class. I owe that satisfaction of being able to provide for my students the same safety I provide to my daughter to your kind donation. In the name of my kids, parents and myself THANK YOU a ton for the help.”

  • Resources for Projects

    Funded Nov 6, 2019

    The first use the machine had was my students build Christmas cards for their families. They were excited of being able to give their mom or father a simple card made by them. They are now in the process of decorating boards for a Science Project and they are having the best time. They really appreciate the donation because they are being able to do things they were not allow before, and also my parents are feeling relieve because they can finally see their children take a new interest in school. My students are using this resource to decorate and give the final touch to the projects being assigned. Their boards are looking professional, neat and with quality. They are exploring some of the areas needed for 6th grade and seeing how this is made using the Cricut, they are also learning on how to create when they no longer have access to the machine. I feel accomplished as a teacher, because beside of teaching the usual I am also able to teach creation which I believe is a huge part of education. I don't have words to express my gratitude and my students are extremely grateful with the opportunity.”

  • Classroom Use

    Funded Jul 9, 2019

    I wanted to begin by saying thank you. My students and myself are extremely happy with the donation and my students are using the materials wisely but also with the sense of security that they matter to someone else. The families at my school are very poor and most of the time they don't have the materials to come to school.

    My class received the donations and my students were already excited about learning and all they can do with the materials they received. I am happy because I now that with little a lot can be accomplished. All I want is for my little ones to succeed and to feel that they matter to everyone around them and that is exactly what this donation accomplished. They now know that people out there are willing to help them achieved their goals even though they are not a family member. My kids are resting every night knowing that the next day they'll have pencils, erasers, papers, and also a clean classroom to come back to the next day and continue with their learning process. Words cannot express how thankful we are so I think that a huge THANK YOU is just the beginning of our gratitude.”

  • Knowledge is Power

    Funded Nov 7, 2017

    This donation has been amazing. Thanks to this I was able to expand my library with new and interesting material for my students. They are enjoying every new book and even have competitions among themselves to read the books before the school year ends. I am glad to see the enthusiast in reading because all this knowledge they are bringing it to the carpet for discussions and adding more learning to their journey. This donation brought new ideas to them and now they are opening their eyes to stories they haven't read before. They have been able to notice there is a book for almost every situation in life that narrates the story of a character that have gone through the same they go through everyday. They are enjoying reading more and I love how I don't have to push them anymore to read, but in the contrary now they want more books. They have found a motivation of their own through the books that were donated to my classroom library and as a teacher there is nothing more I can ask for.”

The materials I am requesting is going to allow my students to grow passionate about Reading given them a better understanding. Having an opportunity to explore different book's genres, authors, and themes will help them understand life, circumstances and will give them an opportunity to explore the world around them. Books can also be use as an escape to reality and I know that some of my students need that safe zone where through reading can believe they can succeed. Reading is one of my favorite hobbies and with this material my students will have access to a variety of unknown to them books, authors and themes to expand their learning and experiences. This will help then grow emotionally and academically, always striving for their success!
