  On behalf of my students and myself, we are so grateful for you donations. Without you, this project would not be possible. The students will be able to get organized and keep track of all their assignments and I just know this will get them excited for school. This is such a blessing.”

• Everybody is a Genius.

  Funded Dec 28, 2017

  Every year I now read this story to the kids and every year its a book that is talked about ALL YEAR long. It's a story that sticks with them for the long term. We all have that one novel that we can remember from our childhood. It is now going to be a movie soon! We are so excited to have a class set now and it continues to be a relatable story for the students. More teachers are starting to read this and the tradition will continue. Thank you for all the support and the many gifts you continue to bless my students with each year. It is truly the gift that keeps on giving.”

• No More Dead Batteries!

  Funded Mar 18, 2021

  My students were so excited to not have to sit on the floor next to an outlet to complete their work. We only had 4 outlets in the classroom and it was a mess trying to get them charged up and social distanced from each other. All of a sudden students were back at their desks with the portable charges and continuing the work and it was so much less stress on them. I wasn't harping on them to charge every night so that it didn't create a distraction. All around this has been a blessing for all of us and more teachers are looking to purchase these same chargers! Thank you”

• For the LOVE of READING!

  Funded May 28, 2020

  When the books arrived the students didn't seem so pleased. They didn't have an interest in reading such a long book. This feeling only lasted as long as the first chapter. They became HOOKED! Every day they begged to keep reading. Instead of moaning and groaning about reading, they were doing it because we hit a stopping point for the day. The impact of this book was so profound to my students. Many of them connected to the main character and they have not stopped talking about it yet. Thank you for bringing back the love of reading in my students.”

  What an incredible opportunity you have given my students! Thank you for this gift. It is truly the gift that keeps on giving. I cannot wait to see their faces when these headphones arrive.

• Organizational Madness!

  Funded Aug 11, 2020

  When I open the box of planners for my students their eyes lit up! They all eagerly opened their binders to insert their new gift! They are becoming super organized students and enjoy writing down all of their assignments and learning to refer back to them so that they can stay on track and not missing assignment due dates. These planners will instill such great organizational skills and I know they are so grateful to our donors for these gifts. The impact you have made in 75 students will be everlasting.”
