  • Hungry Stomachs, Hungry Minds!

    Funded Dec 31, 2019

    Your donations and care packages came just in time for our extensive test prep for the state exams!! My students and I are very grateful and appreciative that they are able to have snacks while learning, studying and preparing for the state test. They were amazed as to how many boxes were delivered and they couldn't wait to go through them to see all of the goodies.

    The students are able to go through the assortment when they enter into the classroom. It helps to get them settled and focused knowing that they have something to munch on.

    Right now our focus is to get prepared for the upcoming state exams. I have offered test prep twice a day in addition to regular class time. The stash of snacks will be helpful to those students that come in before school or stay after school.

    Thank you very much for your support and generosity. We are extremely grateful that you donated to our project "Hungry Stomachs, Hungry Minds".”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Laurynn

  • Hungry Minds and Stomachs!

    Funded Jun 10, 2018

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. My students look forward to knowing that I have a stash of food waiting for them. It reassures them that they don't have to learn on an empty stomach. When they first saw the boxes they had no idea what was in them and had just assumed it a huge textbook delivery. To their surprise and excitement, seeing the food and snacks made them extremely happy. The students were eager and helpful in organizing the delivery and putting it away neatly in the lockers.

    It's unfortunate to see a large amount of students coming to school hungry on a daily basis. Having food resources readily available in the classroom helps to reinforce a positive learning environment. Having these resources helps to make my job easier and contributes to the learning process.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Laurynn

It's amazing how motivating using colored paper, pens and supplies could be when trying to entice students to write well-developed essays. In order to meet the graduation requirements, students must be able to write two well thought out essays on various historical topics. Essay writing is a daunting task for many of my students. My students often come to our school with low level reading and writing skills. However, I've come to find that the use of color in the classroom and allowing them to be creative with colored paper and pens for the essay writing has been very motivational. By allowing the students to be creative it motivates them to come to class more often. When they walk into the room it feels inviting. Also, knowing that the colors and creativity that surround them were created by them. This gives the students a sense of ownership and creates confidence.
