• Spring Time Bug Fun!

  Funded Mar 15, 2025

  Thank you so much for helping me give my students ladybugs, butterflies and worms for some Spring time exploring! 🤩

  We can’t wait to get outside and dig into all the fun you have made possible. The students are going to be immersed in creepy crawlers while learning in the sunshine.

  Thank you.”

• Garden Tool Organization

  Funded May 8, 2024

  Thank you for supporting my classroom of unique learners!

  This summer was the most organized one yet! Because of your funding we were able to secure a large outdoor storage bin for all of our water toys, garden tools, and sports equipment. Our students had so much fun splashing around, taking care of our garden and digging for worms.

  This year I hope to continue getting my students outside to enjoy the fresh air. My love for the outdoors and teaching keeps me going, while donors like you keep our classrooms fun and ready for learning!”

• Adapt My Classroom for Special Learners

  Funded Sep 11, 2023

  Your generosity allowed me to provide a variety of tools and activities to help improve my student's fine motor skills. From Theraputty to pencil grips, my students are engaging in new activities that test their abilities and improve their skills. I have to tell you, I've never seen so many students eager to pull beads from putty, but they love it!

  In September our class theme was All About Me. Students got to learn about feelings and label body parts. The feelings mats were an absolute hit and my students loved adding facial features based on the targeted emotion. I can't thank you enough.”

• Fine Motor Play

  Funded Jan 6, 2023

  Thank you for helping me provide fun, engaging activities for my students. From tweezing cotton balls to pushing plastic animals into a toy tree, my students have been engaged in activities throughout the day.

  Their favorite activity is placing small stickers into small circles on a alphabet or number worksheet. There was no way I would have been able to continue doing this activity each month with the stickers I had. Because of your donations, we were able to provide theses items all year long.

  Thank you so much.”

• Back to Basics

  Funded Dec 26, 2022

  Thank you so much for your support.

  This year I took on a new set of grades, and I quickly realized I was not prepared. Moving from 6-8th graders to Tk-1st graders was such a huge change, and brought so many new challenges. My students bring me so much joy, and I wish I could do so much more for them. Because of the items that we were able to buy, my students had so many new activities and learning opportunities.

  Because of your generosity, I made it through. Now that we have less than 2 months left, I know for sure I would not have made it without your donations.

  From the bottom of my heart, thank you!”

• Rock and Roll

  Funded Sep 7, 2022

  My students were overwhelmed with excitement when they saw the new sensory sand your donations made possible. For Halloween we added the moveable craft eyes and made it a "Monster Eye" activity. For Christmas we added craft bells and made it festive. I can't wait to create more fun activities throughout the year.

  The playdoh has been an absolute hit! My students love to use the cookie cutters and create letters of the alphabet. Their favorite thing to do is mix multiple colors together! Yikes.

  Every item we received from your generosity has made a huge impact in my classroom and I am forever grateful to donors such as yourself.

  Thank you.”

• Let Them Play

  Funded May 30, 2022

  Because of your generosity, our students came back to school to new educational toys! They were so excited to learn while playing. Every time I bring out a new item, they light up and are ecstatic to see what fun they get to have.

  The matching eggs were especially a hit. Basic concepts like matching shapes are exactly what my students need to learn. Because of your donation my students are well on their way to meeting their individual learning goals for the year.

  Thank you so much for donating to classrooms like mine. You have no idea what it means to us teachers who want to give our students the world.”

• Sparkling Clean

  Funded Dec 8, 2021

  Having fun and making messes is part of the learning process. Thanks to your donations, we are able to successfully clean those messes and make playtime more enjoyable, while keeping the germs away. From cooking to making Play-Doh, our students are able to practice the importance of making healthy choices and being clean while at school.

  In the spring my class will begin our hygiene unit and thanks to your donations and the Dial soap we received, I will be able to send home hygiene packages with each one of my students this year. Thank you so much.

  Please enjoy some fun pictures of us making messes and cleaning up.”

• Making Financial Cents

  Funded Sep 30, 2021

  Thank you so much for helping my students grow. We are now able to teach the importance of money management with hands on activities that every one of my students can benefit from. My students love the giant coins and fun money games we were able to get with your donations.

  Learning about money has become our new favorite activity thanks to you. I cannot wait to see how much my students learn about the value of smart spending.

  Please enjoy some photos of us learning with your gifts. Thank you again.”

• Enjoying Sports and Sunshine

  Funded Oct 17, 2021

  This year has been unlike any other in education. However, through all of the uncertainties, our students at Andres Duarte have been able to count on one thing: getting outside and playing because of the amazing generosity of donors like you. From basketball, to golf, our students have been fortunate enough to play outside and enjoy the company of their friends due to the new equipment we were gifted by you.

  We could never thank you enough, but here are some pictures of our students having a great time outside enjoying the sunshine and their favorite sports.”
