  • Fueled to Perform!

    Funded Feb 4, 2024

    Thank you so much for providing healthy snack options for my athletes. Thanks to you, my athletes were able to stay fueled and hydrated to perform their very best at both track meets and summer basketball league. My athletes were very excited to receive the snacks, as one of the side effects of hard work, is hunger. Your donations fueled district, south state, and state track meet champions.

    These snacks played a crucial role in fueling our athletes by providing necessary nutrients, maintaining energy levels, and aiding in their recovery. Here are some ways that the snacks in this project helped my student-athletes:

    - they provided quick energy through carbs, which was essential for sprints and long distance runs.

    - They were passed out as post-exercise snacks, which help repair and build muscle tissue

    - They helped replenish glycogen stores in muscles, which is crucial for my athletes who train and compete frequently.

    Thank you once again for your wonderful donations, everything that you do for us is greatly appreciated!”

  • So Fresh and So Clean

    Funded Sep 19, 2022

    The disinfecting spray, laundry sanitizer, and tide laundry detergent were well appreciated by students in my class. These products have made a significant difference in my students self-assurance and have made it possible for them to play in clean uniforms. We take things like having a washing machine and dryer at home for granted, but many of my students and athletes come from households who do not. The availability of a washing machine, dryer, and detergent at school makes it easier for my students to maintain clean uniforms and other clothing. Donors like you make a tremendous difference in lecture halls like mine. I will always remember how generous you were with me. The joy on my kids' faces and the appreciation in their eyes told me that I had achieved my goal for this endeavor.”

  • Staying Hydrated

    Funded Sep 18, 2022

    I wish to express my deepest gratitude for your generous contributions to my endeavor. This endeavor has affected the entire student body and their families. Water is necessary for my students to remain hydrated and ready to learn. My students reside in the south, where it is frequently humid and hot, and they require cold water to regulate their body temperatures. The water cases were stacked in a designated area of our gymnasium, and students could obtain water as required. It has brought me so much pleasure and relief to know that my students have constant access to water. When I first shared the news with my students, they were ecstatic, and their enthusiasm made my day. My students are my pride and pleasure, and I pledge to provide them with the resources they require, with the assistance of donors like you. Thank you once more.”

  • Staying Safe!

    Funded Mar 4, 2022

    The staying Safe materials have allowed my classroom students to focus more on learning and being productive in the classroom rather than worrying about if they will catch Co-vid 19 , Flu, or other contagious bacteria. They have expressed the cleanness as they enter the class. Also they have expressed how pleasant the classroom smells. With your donations, you have silenced the thought of germs in any aspect as our students enter the classroom. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are truly a blessing! Please don't ever stop being a blessing!!”

  • Sanitizing to Keep the Germs Away

    Funded Aug 20, 2021

    My students' chairs, tables, seats, and door knobs are all sanitized on a daily basis in our classroom. Their hands, as well as their technological devices, are cleansed.

    When my students saw all of the safe assistances that this initiative supplied, they applauded and smiled with delight. They felt a sense of comfort as they felt more secure, which encouraged them to continue striving toward learning.

  • Lanier Winter Basketball 2020

    Funded Nov 23, 2019

    Activities like basketball offer natural opportunities for people to come together and participate in community life. Culture and sports are powerful tools for building community cohesion. It is with sincere appreciation that we thank Dicks Sporting Goods and SR1, for their support of helping to change students' lives. It our hope that these student athletes will be future leaders that will do the same for others.

    The highlight of the trip were seeing students increase their worldview and interacting with each other, also having classroom training and guest speakers where great that will last. The equipment will be used for many years to come and help keep the students safe.

    The goal is for the students to become life-long learners and engage in a healthy lifestyle- this project is key to that goal.”

My students are very determined individuals. They come to school ready to learn, and when traveling for sports, prepared to play. The pandemic isn't slowing down, and here in Mississippi, it is spreading rapidly. My students are back face-to-face learning. As their teacher and coach, it is my job to make sure my students are protected. I am requesting hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes and disinfectant spray to stay safe in the classroom and while traveling. My students deserve to have a safe learning environment. My students participate in a variety of Physical Education classes and sports. They sanitize their hands often, disinfecting the desks, benches, bleachers, and other equipment we use daily. Having an abundance supply of disinfectant wipes and spray and hand sanitizer will help keep down germs and make a great impact in our classroom.
