  • Unfamiliar Words

    Funded Feb 11, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donation. My 7th grades will now be able to use a physical dictionary when reading. It has made a great impact on my students to learn to use a dictionary properly. Using the digital dictionary is great, but some words don't appear in there.

    We are able to identify unfamiliar words in our daily readings and then use our dictionaries to learn more about the word. It not only expands their vocabulary but it allows them to use a dictionary correctly.

    My students and I thank you again for your generous donation.”

  • One on One Time

    Funded May 4, 2022

    I want to thank you for your generous donations. I am able to have private one on one conferences with my students about grades, and assignments. Students feel more comfortable knowing that no one else can hear what we are discussing. It allows for students to ask questions about assignments and grades privately. The iPad allows me to move about the room without having to disrupt students. The iPad purchased, as a result of your kindness, I am able to focus on targeting those students that are falling behind due to absences. I can ensure that all my students have a few minutes with me to discuss their progress.”

  • No More Sitting

    Funded Sep 18, 2020

    Thank you for your donations. My students and I are overjoyed because your donations have made a huge difference in how the lessons taught are presented. The desk riser has helped me be more attentive and focused on my students and their learning. I am not tired from sitting all day and I don't have to constantly be excusing myself due to back pain.

    I am able to provide my students engaging lessons and interact with them in a positive way.

    Adjusting to on-line learning has been difficult for all of us. I am now able to provide my students with effective lessons to ensure their success. My focus is my students and their learning so being able to stand instead of sit is a win win for both of us. We thank you again for your gracious donations.”
