  • Empowering Young Minds, One Supply at a Time

    Funded Aug 14, 2024

    I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for your generous contribution to our 5th grade Inclusion Class. Your support has made a significant difference in our students' educational experience.

    As the sole inclusion class at our grade level, we strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment where every student feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential. Your donation has allowed us to provide essential classroom supplies that have greatly enhanced our students' learning experience.  

    The privacy folders have been invaluable in helping our students focus on independent work without feeling overwhelmed. The class set of headphones has enabled our students to work on computer programs without disturbing their classmates, fostering a more productive and collaborative learning atmosphere. The electric pencil sharpener has been a lifesaver, replacing our old broken one and ensuring that our students have the necessary tools to complete their assignments.

    Your generosity has not only supported our students' academic growth but has also contributed to their social-emotional development. By providing a well-equipped learning environment, we have been able to cultivate a positive and collaborative classroom community where students can thrive.

    Thank you again for your kindness and support. Your contribution has made a lasting impact on the lives of our students.”

By addressing potential hunger gaps, we have empowered our students to fully engage in their learning.

    Your generosity has motivated my students to reach their full potential. Knowing that you believe in their success has inspired them to work harder and strive for excellence.

    The introduction of the bookshelves was met with immense excitement from my students. They were immediately captivated by the prospect of having a dedicated space to explore the world of literature. Their enthusiasm has been contagious, creating a classroom atmosphere that is buzzing with curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.

  • Magical Learning Welcoming Environment

    Funded Aug 9, 2023

    I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for your generous donation of wall decals, decorative wallpaper, and lights for my classroom. Your contributions have helped me create a magical environment for learning for my students.

    Before your donation, my classroom was a bit drab and uninspired. The walls were bare, and the lighting was harsh. It was difficult to create a sense of excitement and engagement in my students.

    But now, thanks to your donations, my classroom is a completely different place. The wall decals and decorative wallpaper add a touch of whimsy and creativity to the space. The lights are soft and inviting, creating a relaxing and stimulating environment for learning.

    My students have been thrilled with the new changes to their classroom. They love the bright colors and fun patterns of the wall decals. They also enjoy reading and working in the soft spotlights.

    I am so grateful for your kind donation. It has made a real difference in the learning environment for my students. Thank you for helping to create a magical place for them to learn and grow.”

Our school is 100% free and reduced lunch. many of my students come from either foster home or foster care facilities, and or single family homes. For these reasons many of my students don’t have basic school materials and I often have to provide for students the necessary materials for regular classroom instruction. My students are respectful and hard working. They are eager to learn and want to excel academically. I believe that with the proper Science lab resources, my students will have the unlimited possibilities to learn, love, experience and understand science they see every day. Your kind donation would allow my students to experience science in a way that they will certainly never forget.
