  • Basic Needs Are Necessary Essentials to Ensure the Best Education

    Funded Aug 8, 2024

    Thank you so very much for approving and paying for my "Basic Needs Are Necessary Essentials to Ensure the Best Education" drive. I have already given some of the supplies that you purchased for students who are new to our school and for students who were unable to purchase (new) school supplies this year. When I handed an 8th grade boy 5 pencils and 5 notebooks, his face lit up and he was so excited to have new, clean school supplies that his attitude and demeanor instantly changed. It is in this change that I know his self-confidence will increase in turn allowing him to feel better and more confident in his classes. Sadly, I was not able to take a picture of the boy, but if you would have seen his face, you would not be able to stop smiling yourself.

    You did a great thing for my students and our future, thank you very much!!!

    Sincerely,

    Dawn DeClusin

  • Reading for My Present and My Future

    Funded Jan 1, 2018

    You made our day!

    As I sat here this morning and thought back to the day that I opened the email letting me know my project was funded, I once again began to feel my heart warm. I can't tell you all how much I appreciate your support for my students and their future.

    Here at Skyview Middle School, our goal is to ensure that every child receives the best education possible which will prepare them for their future, and because of your generous donations, we are well on our way of meeting this goal.

    Your kind donations went a long way in helping us meet this goal by allowing us to purchase new novels in which the kids were able to relate and make text to current life connections. In fact, with your gifts, we were able to purchase the book, "I am Malala" in which the kids already had background knowledge on it as they had recently saw her story on the news.

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You have all made a real difference in the lives of the kids I teach.   Thanks to you, 90 children will better their education with a better understanding of world.

    Donors, thank you once again for your donation. It truly means the world to us!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. DeClusin

By receiving these books, my students will be able to read texts that are relatable and pertinent to the daily lives they lead as opposed to reading texts that are 20+ years old with language that my students do not understand as the way we speak in today's society has changed. My students love to read and like to be engaged and feel as if they are part of the story, and with the books my school currently has, they are not engaged which is resulting in the students losing their desire to read. My students and myself would greatly appreciate anything you are willing to give.
