  • New Classroom New Supplies

    Funded May 13, 2019

    By providing laptop covers students are able to easily and safely transport the laptops throughout the school. More protection for the laptops means a longer lasting ability to provide for students' technology needs at school. If we show we care about protecting our technology by providing cases, students will also value taking care of technology, as they do in my classroom. Thanks again for allowing this to happen. This has allowed our computers a longer lasting lifetime. You are wonderful and a true inspiration.”

  • Healthy Options Needed!

    The new microwave arrived in a quick manner. We have used it quite a bit. I use this microwave to heat several of my students' lunches that have certain food issues, but I also use it to make things like as a special treat for all my students. My students have really turned around and starting respecting one another and love to have a nice treat from the teacher. We made caramel apples the other day, where the students was so surprised how little caramel was needed for such an amazing apple. Thank you for making this a dream come true.

  • Toner For Our Projects

    Funded Dec 1, 2017

    Thank you so much for your donation to this project. My students are appreciative for people like you who choose to donate to schools in need, like us. My students need as much support possible when it comes to having supplies and materials. Without people like you, my students would be unable to complete assignments, see examples as well as print their own work. Even though this is what that they need to further their learning!

    With these supplies, students will now be able to go on the computer, print out their work, and see examples of work. We are very grateful. Thank you so very much for your kindness and generosity and because of you schools, students, and teachers have something to look forward to.”
