I Spy...The Dewey Decimal System!
Funded Sep 12, 2022Thank you so much for your donations! The students loved the new placement cards. It has provided an efficient way for students to find their books faster. The placement cards stick out from the shelves and students love having that visual to see the letter or number more quickly.
Your donations mean a lot to me and all students here at Ferrum Elementary. Not only has it helped students find books faster, but fourth and fifth-grade students have been trained to put returned books back on the shelves. They are so excited to help me each week.”

Funded Dec 29, 2022I am excited to being Ferrum’s first podcasting team thanks to your generous donations.

Thank you once again for your help in making our wish a reality.”

Library Upgrade
Funded Jul 22, 2022Thank you for your generous donation. Although the decoration may seem like something small, the students were so excited to come into the library and see the Cheshire Cat and Platform 9 3/4 clock. You helped to make the elementary library more inviting and kid friendly. The book donation will help me in my goal of becoming a librarian that fosters the love of reading and visiting the library into my students. Once again, thank you for your donation and willingness to support our elementary school.”

Virtual Beginning
Funded Jul 22, 2021I want to thank you once again for your generous donation to my project. The supplies were used during my year of virtual teaching. The base 10 blocks were a huge help with my students who needed the visual for math concepts. The headphones helped me to hear my students better as well as communicate more effectively with them. I am back in the building this year and I brought the supplies with me. Students are still benefiting from these donations in the classroom each and every day. Again, thank you so much for providing the resources for the students in both my virtual classroom and now the building.”

Distance Learning Tools
Funded Mar 7, 2021Thank you so much for funding this project. I have been virtually teaching students all year. In order to provide different avenues of teaching using various methods these tools have helped so much!
The document camera is a lifesaver when I need to write long sentences or word problems that may not be seen if I were to write them on the traditional classroom whiteboard when using a webcam.
The pen is great for using to write and doesn't appear nearly as sloppy as the mouse when writing.
Thank you once again for supporting my classroom.”

Help Me Provide Spacing for My Students Due to COVID
Funded May 28, 2020Thank you for funding this project. Although I am a virtual teacher this year I have been able to use these resources during tutoring time with in school students.
The kids love these desks as an alternative way to sit and distance safely. They have even been used by other teachers to space students outside to work so they can enjoy the weather.
This seating will continue to be a great benefit long after COVID has passed but for now they have been a tremendous help it providing students safe distancing in a fun way. They are also easy to sanitize.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and 2 other donors.You've Got Mail
Funded Dec 1, 2020I have been able to use the resources to organize my papers with the mailbox file and provide a different perspective of instruction using my standing desk.
The standing desk flexibility has helped me be able to teach from the board instead of sitting all day. Students are able to see the board and it gives them the opportunity to feel like they are back in the classroom.
I want to thank you again for your donations. Thanks to you I have been given tools to make the classroom experience a little less different during these uncertain times.”

This classroom project was brought to life by FamilyAlbum and one other donor.Preparing for the Show
Funded Mar 1, 2020I want to thank you so much for your continued support of my donors choose page. As you know, with the impact of COVID came changes in the way we have went about providing instruction and extracurricular activities for our students. Unfortunately, the drama club has suffered as well. We had to cancel our performance for last year and have not had the opportunity to work together this year due to restrictions. All materials donated are put in a safe place and my hope is that we will be able to continue on with the drama club in the 2021/2022 school year. During that time we will put the materials donated into good use. Thanks again for your support! It means so much to me and my students.”

Crafts for a Cause
Funded Nov 10, 2019Thank you for your generous donations to our school drama club. We used the supplies purchased to create handmade gifts for our annual Winter Wonderland. Money made from these sales went into our drama club t-shirt fund. We also used what we had and got creative with how to implement the rest with our costume/set design. Nothing went to waste. We raised enough in our sales to be able to purchase all students drama club shirts at a discounted rate. Thanks so much for your support on this project.”

The Show Must Go On
Funded Feb 26, 2019Thank you so much for sponsoring our drama club. With your donations we were able to purchase paint, flowers, poster board, and various other supplies to create the props for our drama production. We used the paint purchased to paint backdrops and poster board. We also purchased material to create the costumes you see in a few of the pictures. The monkey hats with their limbs as well as the apples they threw were all created using supplies you helped us purchase. We had 23 students from grades 3-5 involved in this production and we could not have had a successful show without your help. Thanks again!”
