  • STEM-sational Second Grade Scholars!

    Funded Dec 28, 2020

    Your donation to the "STEM-sational Second Grade Scholars" has been praised by several of my pupils. My objective was to expose them to activities that challenged their imaginations by introducing them to new games and activities. That's exactly what the snap circuit boards accomplished.

    Your gift has provided opportunities for many of my scholars, who now have a greater grasp of electronics as a result of your generosity. Over 300 activities are available on each circuit board. Scholars can make sound, light, flying objects, and a variety of other interesting things. Nothing beats seeing a child's eyes light up and hearing their voice crack with delight because of something they made.

    Your contributions have given scholars something that they will be able to utilize for many years to come.

    On behalf of the whole class and their families, thank you!”

  • Can Do!

    Funded Dec 28, 2020

    Many of my students have expressed gratitude for your gift to "Can Do." Several of my children have improved their reading and spelling abilities as a result of the games. The kids were ecstatic to get a wide range of Language Arts activities that kept them engaged and interested in their studies. Many of my pupils demonstrated their joy to their classmates by showing their newly gained skills.

    Several teachers at the school saw the pupils playing the games and agreed that they are beneficial and should be used throughout the school. Without your assistance and support, this would not be possible. Yes, your generosity has benefitted my class, but it is now possible that the entire school may benefit as well.

    We were all seeking for something to re-ignite our interest in studying, and your gift and support did just that. On behalf of the whole class and their families, thank you!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Bolden

We currently use the iPads in our Listen to Reading center. My students do not have any headphones to use. When the students are using iPads without headphones, they have a hard time staying focused on their own story they are listening to because they can hear all the iPads at the same time. The headphones will help them to block out the noises around them and focus just on their task. Your donation would be greatly appreciated. Half of my students have been unable to purchase their own headphones. You would bring them so much joy if you donated to this project.
