    Funded Aug 14, 2024

    I am writing to express our deepest gratitude for your generous contribution towards the classroom supplies for our special education classroom. Your kindness has made a significant impact on the learning environment, and we are thrilled to share the positive changes it has brought.

    Thanks to your contribution, our students have access to the tools they need to thrive. Items like pencils, notebooks, and organizational supplies might seem simple, but they're essential in creating a productive and inviting learning environment. With these supplies, our students are better able to focus on their lessons and express themselves creatively. Having these resources also helps us build a space where everyone feels equipped and ready to learn.

    Your support has directly contributed to creating an inclusive and dynamic educational space.”

  • iPad for Success!

    Funded Jun 15, 2023

    I would like to take this opportunity to provide you with a better understanding of how invaluable your donation has been to our classroom.

    An iPad serves as a versatile educational tool in the classroom, enhancing learning experiences through its multifaceted capabilities. It provides instant access to a wealth of educational apps, digital textbooks, and interactive content, fostering engagement and individualized learning. They also support diverse learning needs, offering accessibility features and customization options.

    The intuitive touch interface empowers students to interact with digital materials in a way that feels natural and fun, promoting creativity and exploration. Furthermore, iPads often provide a break from traditional pen-and-paper routines, injecting an element of novelty and excitement into the learning process.”

  • HELP! Our Printer Needs Toner!

    Funded Oct 5, 2019

    Thank you again for your generosity and help in fulfilling our classroom project. The impact of this donation was seen almost immediately. Students were able to access materials that are individual to each of them. This includes leveled reading passages, graphic organizers, and visual aids. Also, having the colored paper allows students to use color coding strategies.

    My students are excited to come to class now because they know their learning needs are being met. They do not shy away from the work, rather they look to rise to the challenge!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Tait-Griffo

In order to best meet the needs of my diverse learners, the lessons and activities have to be individual to each student. This requires LOTS of differentiated materials which include leveled reading passages, graphic organizers, and visual aids. While some students can access these materials digitally, many of my learners require a printed hard copy to best suit their learning style. Students deserve to optimize their learning as often as possible which why it toner and paper are so important for our classroom. With toner and paper, I will be able to print vital instructional materials to help boost my students progress and give them the specific help them need!
