  • Learning Responsibility Through a Desk Pet

    Funded Dec 27, 2021

    We would like to thank you for your gracious donations. My students have loved using their class pets and learning about their adaptations that they need to be able to survive. They have created homes for their pets and have gained things to add to their pets when they have done well in class. They have also had times when they discussed their pet and told the class all about their animals.

    This has been a great experience for my students and this is something that I will continue with my students next year. Again I would like to thank you for this great opportunity for my students.”

    With gratitude,

  • Helping Little Minds Grow With STEM

    Funded Aug 26, 2021

    I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude in helping my project get funded for my students. Having this opportunity for my students during this difficult time that we are in is more valuable now than it has ever been. Having that hands-on learning has brightened my students' day. They have had opportunities to explore coding and be able to use it in many different ways. Many of my students have never had the opportunity to work with robots and to see how they can work on command is something they have found to be very exciting and interesting.”

  • Distance Learning

    Funded May 17, 2020

    During this unforeseen time students around the world have dealt with things that no one ever thought they would face in a school setting. With the help of you, I was able to provide materials for my students that they could use at home for reading, math, and even materials to expand their learning.

    I would like to take this time to thank my donors that have given my students the ability to learn in a whole new way. They loved receiving the awesome materials and knowing that they could use them at home to go along with their virtual learning. Thank you so much. It was greatly appreciated!”

  • The Possibilities of STEM with a Good Book!

    Funded Oct 22, 2020

    During this difficult time that we have faced my students have lost out on the opportunity to check out books from the library. They have missed out on those opportunities due to the pandemic. The books that have been provided and funded for my students have given me the opportunity to read to my in-person students, as well as my virtual students.

    I can not express it enough on how much these books have put smiles on my students' faces and have given them hope that things are somewhat normal in a school year that none of us ever thought would happen. Again, I would like to thank everyone that supported my project.”

  • Making Books Come To Life In A Picture Perfect Way

    Funded Dec 6, 2018

    In attending some professional development, I found myself loving Picture-Perfect Science lessons. I'm a science lab teacher and I love to incorporate other content into my lessons. The Picture-Perfect Science lessons help me do this, by involving reading with my lessons. I have K-5 and all of my students, even the older ones love books.

    I usually start out my lessons with the book as being my hook to get my students curious about the topic that we are going to be discussing. The books go right along with the lesson. Recently we study a unit on the Earth, sun and moon. I read the book about the sun and it told exactly key concepts that I would be teaching my students and showed great illustrations of how the sun, Earth and moon relate to one another.

    My students are loving these books and I'm so excited to be able to bring this way of learning to my students. As we know, not all students learn the same way and I'm always trying to incorporate new ways of learning to my students. Thank you for your donations. It was greatly appreciated. My students thank you as well.”

  • Having A Safe Learning Environment For Every Child To Succeed

    Funded Mar 27, 2018

    Over the past years, we have seen a huge awareness for safety in our schools. We have taken much more detail to the smallest things that could cause an intruder to enter our schools. Our students come first. We are always looking for things that will allow our students to feel and be safer throughout our everyday routine at school.

    The barracuda system is something that has been mounted on my wall directly behind my door for easy access. It takes just a few seconds to slide under my door and allow it to be almost impossible for an intruder to enter my room.

    Just a few weeks into our school year it was put to use by an alert that we received. Someone was on foot that the local police department was looking for, so our school had to go into locked down.

    Thank you donors for providing something that will keep my students safe each and every day of their learning experience. Your donation is greatly appreciated!”

    With gratitude,

With the increase of school safety on the rise, we need to put our children first priority and the Barracuda Defense System will do that in a matter of minutes. We hope that we never have to face an intruder situation, but we need to make sure that we do everything that we can to make it safe for our children to learn and succeed in life. The Barracuda Defense System will help us be more prepared and our students should be able to go to school each day without fear. Teaching children is something that I take very seriously and I want my students to always have a safe learning environment experience.
