• Food to Help Progress

  Thank you very much for your generosity and continued support for and belief in our success. Your donation will have a huge impact on the quality of my students' days at school. I can now continue to provide some sustenance for them, both physically and academically. I look forward to the impact your help will make on my students' progress.

• Food for Thought

  Funded Oct 30, 2023

  Thank you so much for your continued support. Your donations helped me to ensure that none of my students went hungry. I was also able to help others who were not my students (e.g., siblings and friends).

  Many of my students have issues with attendance and punctuality. So, quite a few of them miss breakfast. It was great to know that I was able to provide some type of sustenance to help them to focus until they receive a full meal at lunch. Trying to function while hungry is hard. My students struggled. Being able to get something to eat and/or drink made a world of difference during our sessions and in the classroom (as reported by some teachers). They absolutely love the Hint water. This helped me to once again enforce how important it is to drink water, of any kind, to stay healthy. My students continue to benefit from your generosity. Again, thank you for helping me contribute to my students being the best they can be.”

• Tools for Constant Learning and Growth!

  Funded Feb 9, 2023

  Thank you very much for your support. Having a properly-working laptop has made it much easier for me to access professional development workshops.

  It has allowed me the ability to participate fully during the workshops. Keeping organized, doing session notes, searching for materials, and being able to access and read journal articles are now much easier and more manageable.

  I am extremely grateful for your generosity. This device is another tool in my arsenal to help me provide a high level of service to my students. Thanks again!”

• Food to Help Us Focus!

  Funded Dec 12, 2022

  Thank you very much for your continued support. The snacks and drinks have made such a huge impact on my students' performance during the sessions and, according to them, their entire day.

  They were all very happy to see that we got another project funded. We unpacked and organized everything together. They know now that they will always be able to come to me for healthy snack and/or drink.

  Your donations have ensured that my students do not have to be hungry at school. That is one less thing weighing on their little shoulders. So many of them come to school late and without breakfast. They no longer have to struggle to focus in the classroom due to hunger. Instead, they come to my room on their way to class to get something to eat. Thanks to your generosity, we are a much happier group now that hunger during the school day is no longer an issue. Once again, thank you very much for all you have done to help us.”

• School Games Club Here We Come!

  Funded Aug 16, 2022

  Thank you so much for your generosity. The students were overjoyed when they saw all of the games they could choose from. Their level of engagement with the games and each other grows every time they get the opportunity to play.

  They are happy to play the games they already know how to play, and even more excited to learn new ones. Without being asked to help, the students have been teaching others the rules of games that are new to them. We see students of all ages playing the games together.

  Our goals are to consistently increase the level of interaction between the students and to continue to foster learning using as many different tools as possible. Again, thank you for your continued support of and belief in our success.”

• Help Us Increase Our Language and Social Emotional Skills!

  Funded Nov 30, 2021

  Thank you very much for once again contributing to our success. The kids were both surprised and entranced upon first seeing the kitchen, play foods and social emotional books and activities.

  Even my 2nd and 3rd grade students want to play with the toys. There has been an explosion of language from my preK and kindergarten students. They enjoy naming and/or learning the names of all the food items and coming up with different recipes. They are also becoming more adept at sharing and turn-taking.

  My students have all enjoyed the social emotional activities, especially the book "Fill a Bucket" with the accompanying manipulatives. These materials have made a huge positive impact on my sessions and the level of student participation. Once again, thank you all for continuing to believe in and support our success.”

• Colorful Activities Keep Us Engaged!

  Funded Apr 28, 2021

  Thank you for such a generous gift. The printer has allowed me to print out assessment materials as they should be to garner accurate results of my students' performance. I have also been able to print session materials in color, which have resulted in the students being more engaged with the activities, especially my younger students (e.g., kindergarten to 3rd grade). I was able to print colorful messages to send with packages home to my remote students. They, the students, loved the contents of the packages, but they also mentioned how much they liked the colored picture of me that went with the message. That picture and messages garnered a lot of language from my students, which allowed me to focus on many of their goals. So again, thank you for once again assisting in the progress of my students.”

• Snacks and Drinks to Help Us Think!

  Funded May 4, 2021

  Thank you so much for your generosity. The students (mine and some from other classes) were extremely grateful for the snacks. I also had some parents reaching out to thank me for my thoughtfulness, because they were struggling and therefore, really grateful for the assistance. However, I informed them that the project was made possible by the willingness of strangers to help us to succeed. So from me, my students and parents, thank you very much for yet again helping us on our academic journey to success.”

• Engaging Books for Speech and Language Development

  Funded Dec 2, 2020

  My students and I greatly appreciate these new additions to our class library. They love listening to the stories about the animals and ninjas. My older students especially love the ninjas. The books are engaging, the pictures are beautiful and they are filled with great themes.

  These books offer many opportunities for my students to work on different aspects of language.They have fun identifying different story aspects like characters, settings ad problems. They love trying to figure out how the characters are feeling just based on the pictures. They also enjoy creating their own version of the stories and discussing the important themes in the stories, like being kind and helpful to each other.

  To each and every donor, your support is priceless. We appreciate you. Thank you very much.”
