  • Individual School Supplies

    Funded Dec 1, 2020

    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT! By funding my project, I was able to refill my students supply bags and send home extra supplies! The rest of the supplies, we have stored in our supply cabinet and we now have enough to keep us going until the end of the school year. This year my kindergarten students are spending the majority of their day at a table behind a shield and are unable to share supplies. It has been a little challenging to teach and help them keep up with their supplies. I challenged them to keep up with their remaining supplies through Christmas break and after the break I told them that we would be able to get NEW supplies BUT they had to take care of the old supplies. After break my students were so excited to open the boxes and fill up their supply bags with new crayons, glue sticks, pencils and other supplies. Thank you so much for making this happen! My heart is so full and I cannot express my gratitude enough.”

  • Social Distance Stem!

    Funded Sep 16, 2020

    Wow! Thank you so much for your amazing support of my students and their learning.

    The moment my students saw the big box, their excitement was radiating throughout the room. As I opened the box to show them our classroom's new surprise, the squeals of joy got louder and louder. Once I showed them our new STEM toys, they could barely wait to get to go and enjoy it. STEM toys are a very popular centers in our class and it was breaking my heart that I didn't have enough for my students to play with. Now that each student has a busy basket filled with different Legos and STEM toys to play with (this year with the Covid virus students have to have their own materials and cannot share toys) they are so excited interact with each other (even though they are behind their safety shields), pretending (they are making up stories) and building with out new STEM toys! Thank you so much for your support! This excitement for learning would not have been possibly without your most generous gift to our project.”

  • Chair Pockets for Covid!

    Funded Aug 3, 2020

    THANK YOU AGAIN for supporting my project. This fall when students returned to school I was struggling to figure out how I was going to store my students supplies especially since students are now required to have individual school supplies and individual places to store their materials. Because of the nature of the virus students have to a place that is separated from other students materials and they must be in a container of some sort that can be wiped or sprayed down daily with a special cleaning solution. This year my kindergarten students are spending the majority of their day at a table behind a shield and these chair pockets have been a life saver and the solution to my storage problems. The chair pockets have plenty of space for students to store their daily materials and we are able to clean them daily with our schools special cleaning solution. I am so thankful for your support especially since these chair pockets are so expensive. Thank you!”
