  • Academic Excellence...Here We Come!

    Funded Dec 4, 2024

    I am so excited and grateful that this project was fully funded. I can't even began to describe how it makes me feel knowing that others appreciate the work I do and are willing to help my students be great and have as many resources as possible. I am so happy that I will be able to give every single one of my students a gift bag when they go home for the holidays. Thanks again to each and every one of you!”

  • Let's Celebrate: Whooooo!

    Funded May 6, 2024

    Thank you very very much for all that you have done for my students. The children were extremely thrilled when they received their rewards. The looks on their faces warmed my heart and body Instantaneously. It also touched me that not only were the students excited and thankful but their parents were also! Being able to reward them after working so hard really, really made me proud as a teacher. Although they are only in first grade, they really pushed themselves. Being able to stay positive and motivated took a lot of work and confidence on their part and I truly love that. My students deserved every moment.”

  • 'Tis the Season for Literacy and Rewards

    Funded Nov 15, 2023

    I am so thrilled to be provided with these resources for my students. These items are going to help them GREATLY in their academics and hopefully help them improve as well. I love being able to give my students things that they can call their own and refer to anytime they need it. A lot of parents are not able to purchase all the resources that will help them be able to flourish as much as possible, so it makes me happy when I help provide them with those things. None of this would be possible without the amazing donors that donated to this project. You are truly helping me make an important impact on my students and I appreciate that from the bottom of my heart.”

    Ms. Bell

  • New Year, New Things!

    Funded Jun 21, 2023

    Thank you very very much for the donations that were received. The beginning of the year is always so rough. There's always so much to do and so many things to get decorated and done in a short amount of time. You honestly do not know how much I appreciate things being donated to me, so that is one less thing I have to have on my list. I also love the excitement and warmth simple little things can bring to sure at the start of a new year. Having new things just help everyone feel ready and as if they are ready to tackle something new.”

  • How Many Can We Read?

    Funded Mar 28, 2023

    My students were so VERY excited to receive new reading materials that correlated with the Accelerated Reading (AR) program. I have students in my class that are on various reading levels, so these new materials were absolutely perfect. As a teacher I try my best to get students excited about reading. Reading is a skill that they will always need in life, so it is best to embed this early. I know that if I can bring books into the classroom that students are interested in or books that have popular characters, this will help with the motivation. These donated reading materials have really pushed them to read outside of the classroom, simply so they can bring that particular book back to school and receive a new one; that is something that makes my heart smile.”

  • Literacy...One Book at a Time!

    Funded Nov 1, 2022

    Receiving these books for my kids was absolutely fantastic. I gave them some to take home and keep with them. We also have some that we added to our bookshelf and our AR shelf as well. They enjoying being able to take books home as well as the books they are allowed to keep for themselves and read to someone at home. I am so thankful for giving them more books to read; they love it. I am so grateful for all the donors who contributed to this amazing act of kindness. It was such a small act but it meant so much to my students and well as myself.”

  • Supplemental Learning Tools

    Funded Aug 9, 2022

    My students have absolutely loved the supplemental learning tools that we received in addition to the curriculum we already have. There are so many times when the curriculum just simply isn't enough. We all know that not all students learn the same and these supplemental learning tools have helped to prove just that. It was really nice to be able to use hands on tools to enhance the lesson that students are already learning about. Not only did this make me happy as a teacher, but it also helped the student's minds to be put at ease about grasping the concept of the lesson and gave them confidence as well.”

  • The Gift of Reading

    Funded Nov 27, 2021

    My students were ecstatic when they received their books as gifts. They were so happy to know it was something they could take home and keep to use whenever they would like to. It really warmed my heart to know that they were so excited about being able to read something at home that was interesting to them, and not something that was required or forced upon them. Even those children who do not show an interest in reading in class were happy to receive their personal materials. Being happy about reading is a feeling that I want my students to always have and to take with them throughout the years.”

  • Soaring to Success

    Funded Jul 8, 2022

    My students absolutely love the materials that were provided to us from the generous donations. When they first saw the decorations they were very excited which really made me extremely happy, because it sparked classroom conversation. They were so curious to know the names of the planets and had so many other questions. They absolutely loved the flexible seating materials, because they are allowed to complete their assignments comfortably anywhere they would like to. I am just so extremely grateful for the donations.”

  • A Trip to the Land of AR

    Funded Mar 6, 2020

    Thank you so much for contributing to the project. I was very excited when I saw the project was fully funded and so were my students. Unfortunately, due to COVID, those particular students have moved on to the next grade and did not get to enjoy the books, but they will most definitely be this school year for the new group of students. I know that these students will enjoy the reading materials just as much as the previous students would have. I am just happy that they will have more variety to choose from.”

These materials will get my students extra excited about reading. They have read most of the books in the classroom and would really like to get some new ones. Reading is something that I encourage on a daily basis, so anytime they have down time, my students know the reading a book is always encouraged and appreciated. With that being said, most of the students have already read most of the books that we have in our classroom library, so it would be absolutely amazing for us to receive new books. I know this would make them extremely happy and I want to be able to encourage to read frequently.
