  • Help us Banish Germs so We Can Learn

    Funded Mar 24, 2025

    Thank you so much for your donation. It is so ironic that I am actually home with the flu today as I see that this project got funded

    I'm so excited to put the air purifier to use so we can protect ourselves and our students from our germy air.”

  • Food Safety for Pre-K Eaters

    Funded Mar 24, 2025

    Thank you so much for your donation towards helping us purchase a new fridge and microwave for our classroom. We can't wait until they come in so we can get rid of our old clunky ones that have been making crazy noises for years. We feel that these new items will keep their foods safer than what we had before, so thank you, thank you, thank you!”

    Funded Mar 24, 2025

    Thank you so much for your donation. We can't wait to receive the package, so we can start putting our new water filter to use and ensuring that our kids are staying hydrated, in a clean way, as soon as possible. We really appreciate your support in making this possible for us.”

  • Magna-tile Musings for Pre-K Minds

    Funded May 8, 2024

    Magna-tiles are the wonder toy for early child hood classrooms. Young learners are always inspired by them to become "imagineers" thinking outside of the box with their creative constructions.

    Our students were so excited to see the boxes of new manga-tile expansion packs to enhance their creations. And to have a reason to put magna-tiles in our library center, with the Very Hungry Caterpillar set, was incredible. Suddenly our students can't wait to retell that story with the magna-tiles and have learned how to design their own magna-tile stories using the plain tiles.

    Thank you for making their storytelling more enriching.”

  • Developing Minds Need Healthy Food

    Funded May 3, 2024

    Public schools have never been known for their great cuisine. But to go days with students refusing to eat anything offered to them in school was heartbreaking for us teachers, many of whom also happen to be parents.

    Your donation helped purchase us enough healthy snacks to finish off the remainder of our school year able to offer our students something healthy to eat each and every day. Something they are willing to eat but that still provides them with the necessary nutrients needed for healthy growth and development.

    Thank you so much!”

  • Post-covid Pre-K Learners Need a Boost in Language Development!

    Funded Mar 1, 2024

    It is hard to find the words to express the joy on student faces whenever a brand new material comes into the classroom. And they always spot it right away. "Look! What's this? Can we play with it?"

    After receiving the materials from this project, our writing center suddenly became a favorite. Out students flocked there and were so excited to practice writing their names, experimenting with lines and curves, and daring themselves to try out new letters.

    The best part was the spoken language that came from it from our English-speaking and Spanish-speaking students. "Look I made a P". "Tengo una P en mi nombre, asi!"

    This generation is definitely struggling more with speech and language but these materials are helping to even out the playing field for them.

    Thank you!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Rodriguez

We have a very social bunch of Pre-K students from all over the world. They love playing and working together because it means they can talk to each other. Their natural instinct to collaborate with peers who look and sound so different from themselves is so incredibly inspiring for me, as their teacher.
