• Technology for the Teacher

  Funded Sep 29, 2022

  I want to thank you all for your generous and thoughtful donation to my project! Not only do I appreciate this, but my students are much appreciative as well. With the donation of this MacBook Pro I could strengthen my practice and, in turn, provide a meaningful and modern way of learning for my students.

  With this MacBook Pro, I could attend a wealth of professional development events virtually! I'm sometimes unable to attend these events in-person, so having the opportunity to attend virtually opens the doors to a world of knowledge I now will have!

  Thank you, once again! I cannot wait to provide my students with the opportunity to express themselves in a more technological way!”

• Teachers Need Tech Too!!

  Funded Sep 29, 2022

  Thank you tremendously for your generous donations to my project! This Epson Printer was much appreciated and much needed! With the use of this printer, I'm able to create documents to pass on to staff and students to further learning and experiences.

  Throughout the school year, I attend numerous amounts of professional developments. With the knowledge that I gain, I want nothing more than to spread awareness and information to fellow staff members to help them continue on their learning path. For my students, the documents that can now be printed will give them assess to creative ways to learn and grow academically. The possibilities are endless. Thank you, again!”

• Popcorn and Cotton Candy Teaches Entrepreneurial Skills

  Funded Apr 8, 2022

  I am and will be eternally thankful for your generous donation to our "Popcorn and Cotton Candy Teaches Entrepreneurial" project. This was our students first time performing on stage since Covid-19 disrupted our learning environment. With the money that was donated was used to bring our movie themed show to life.

  Thanks to your donation, we were able purchase a popcorn machine and also a cotton candy machine. During our movie themed performance, the students were able to sell cotton candy and popcorn. In order to do this, they had to figure out the cost of supplies, and determine a selling cost. In all, the students were able to raise enough to purchase a grill to use at the end of the year carnival. During the carnival we were able to set up the popcorn machine, the cotton candy machine and also the grill to serve the kids.

  This was one of the best projects that I have posted for my class. We will be able to use these items for years to come.”

• Lights, Camera, Action!

  Funded Apr 7, 2022

  I am and will be eternally thankful for your generous donation to our "Lights, Camera, Action!" project. This was our students first time performing on stage since Covid-19 disrupted our learning environment. The money that was donated was used to bring our movie themed performance to life.

  Thanks to your donation, we were able to add lighting to our stage. One of the scenes that this proved to be the most beneficial was during the Fat Albert dance scene. The students acted out the party scene from the movies and used the lights to bring it to life. The backdrop that was purchased helped to set the tone for the whole performance.

  Following the performance, the students were able to fill their little bellies with hotdogs, thanks to the purchase of the Coca Cola hot dog steamer. Please continue to support classrooms like mine. You really do help to make a difference in the lives of students.”

• Chase the Support Dog Is on the Case

  Funded Dec 5, 2021

  Thank you so much for helping me create an amazing space where students can come and interact with Chase, our school comfort dog. Having a comfortable and exciting space that is fun for the kids and for Chase has helped with the transition to attending class in person. Chase provides emotional support to all of the students in the building when they are are anxious, stressed, or sad. Thanks to you, he can now do this in a decorated space. When the groups of students come in, they get so excited to interact with Chase. This project has brought so much joy to the students that Chase serves. Your generosity is truly appreciated!!”

• Chromebooks for Math!

  Funded Dec 5, 2019

  I am writing this letter to thank you for the generous donation to the education of my class. The money that you donated was used to purchase two Chromebooks for our classroom. The students in my class come from low income families, and do not have devices at home. While our school has purchased programs and applications to use for math, the students are only able to use them in school. With a class of 12, it is often difficult to use devices as a whole class. The addition of the two devices allows our class to work with a partner to solve math problems during the math workshop.

  Having these two new devices in our room has made our students more motivated to participate in the math workshop. We have noticed that there is an improvement in their multiplication fluency, and their willingness to complete assignments independently. Please continue to support classrooms like mine.”
