• STEM Materials for Pre-K

  Funded Sep 19, 2024

  I just wanted to take some time to thank you so much for supporting my students and our classroom. The students were so incredibly excited when the boxes of materials arrived! They all took turns opening the boxes and were so happy to see what was inside. We have incorporated STEM into our daily centers and it is by far the favorite center. The students have enjoyed exploring the materials and look forward to playing with them every day. We can already see growth with the students in how they are interacting with their new STEM materials.”

  Funded Aug 27, 2024

  I wanted to take the time to thank you so very much for supporting my classroom and students by supporting this project.

• Flexible Classroom Seating

  Funded Nov 4, 2023

  Our classroom is so grateful for your support. The students absolutely love their new seating. When all the boxes started arriving the kids could not wait to see what was inside. We opened the boxes together and they were blown away. The kids took turns helping to remove the items from the boxes and could not wait until we had all of the chairs put together. All of the students took turns trying all of the new seating with huge smiles on their faces. We had a circle time meeting to talk about where we should put the chairs. The kids came to an agreement and we got the room set up. Every morning the kids come in can can't wait to start working because of their new seating.

  We sincerely appreciate your support in bringing this project to life!”

• Be Organized Helps My Students to Stay Focused

  Funded Mar 11, 2022

  Thank you so much for your support of our project. As a new teacher, we did not have enough storage in our classroom. Due to your generosity, we were able to organize our materials and store them neatly in our new cubbies. Our classroom looks so much cleaner and organized now.

  Our students are much more focused now that our materials are organized in bins. Our students can choose a bin and sit down at the table to work.

  Thank you so much for helping us organize our classroom. We receive compliments all of the time in regard to how wonderful our classroom looks!”

• Flexible Seating

  Funded Nov 4, 2021

  Thank you so much for supporting my classroom to provide my students with flexible seating! My students were beyond excited when all of the boxes arrived in our classroom. I loved seeing their faces when it was all set up for them.

  Since we have had this seating option in our class their interest in books has exploded. Most days the table is full and we have to take turns using the seats (which also provides an opportunity for students to learn how to wait and share).

  We are so grateful to all of you for your support and commitment to our classroom.

  Thank you again so very much.”
