  • Classroom Technology

    Funded Apr 3, 2023

    We want to thank you so much for your generous donations. We received our classroom iPad and the students have enjoyed having new technology in the classroom. The new updated iPad allowed new apps to be downloaded that were not supported on the outdated classroom technology. Each preschool student is allowed 15 minutes of screen time per day. We have been able to also teach the social-emotional strategy of turn-taking.

    So far, the students have been able to use apps to work on reading skills, writing skills, and math skills, as well as playing games that teach turn-taking and patience. It has also enhanced their conversational skills. They have been able to use the new technology for the reading program, Lexia, drawing shapes, practicing letter and number formation, and playing other learning games on sites like pbskids.org.

    My students are excited for their technology time and without your donation and support of teachers and classrooms, this would not have been possible. God Bless you.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Peden

  • Kids LIGHT the Way

    Funded Aug 19, 2021

    Seeing the faces of the children in my classroom light up with excitement as new materials were unpacked was amazing. They absolutely love the light table and accessories that were donated to my classroom. Thank you so much for your generous donations that funded my project. We have used the light table to enhance their learning of letters, counting, addition and subtraction, patterns, sorting, and so much more. They love building things with the blocks. We are so thankful for the new materials and they are used daily. It has also provided new sensory experience and learning for children in my classroom with special needs. May God bless you all in the new year.”

  • We Love to Play!

    Funded Aug 22, 2019

    Thank you so much for your generous donations! The children were so excited to get the new materials for our centers! They love to use the goggles and magnifying glasses to investigate during science experiments.

    The new talking microscope is a favorite. They enjoy looking at the slides through it and learning about the specimens on them. The microscope shares facts about the slides so they can also learn about those specimens.

    The new kitchen items are also a huge hit. They love to play bakery with the cupcakes and cookies and they can buy so many more items at their "grocery store". Their imaginations run wild and it is so fun to watch them pretend and to see their little minds develop. Thank you for making those learning experiences possible for them!”

  • Cruising Around

    Funded May 2, 2018

    Thank you so much for your generous donations to our classroom project. The students love the new bicycles. Since the children come from low income homes, some of them have never gotten to ride a bicycle. Their faces were priceless when the bicycles came in. Their faces still smile from ear to ear when they get to use one of the new bicycles. The bicycles teach them new concepts such as steering and direction, while also helping to develop their muscles. The students in the classroom also practice sharing and turn taking while using the bikes. Thank you!”

  • Keep Our Kids Safe

    Funded Mar 3, 2018

    Thank you so much for your donations to the Keep our kids Safe project. With the recent happenings across the country, there is an increase in measures that schools are taking to keep our children safe while they are in our classrooms. We appreciate your support and donations for our Barracuda Defense System.

    The children have learned how to use it and what the purpose is for having it. Soon after receiving our product, our school went on lock down to test the systems. It was strong and sturdy and the door would not open with it installed. Our environment feels much safer with the system available in our classroom. We thank you so much for caring about the safety of our children!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Peden

Students need to know they are safe at school. Students come to school to learn and that is what should be on their mind. The Barracuda Intruder Defense System will be an extra defense mechanism to keep my young students safe while they are at school. In order to learn effectively, students need to know that they are being protected while they are at school. This system is easily and quickly installed and keeps the intruder from being able to open the door easily. It would also keep unwanted items from being put under the door in the event of an intruder in the school.
