  • Using Our Senses to Cope With Big Emotions

    Funded Jul 11, 2022

    My students loved every item that was donated for their need this past school year. Many students were able to select items of their choice to use to calm down while being able to process big feelings that got out of control.

    This past school year, I've seen my kids be able to become more aware of their feelings and more empowered to manage their feelings with my support.

    I'm so happy that we were able to bring my vision to life.

    I can't thank you enough for making this possible for my students.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Mason

  • School Uniforms for English Language Learners

    Funded Aug 22, 2021

    With the support from our donors, we were able to provide 150 uniform items to our students in need.

    The new uniforms helped lift their confidence so that they could focus on their school work and not what they didn't have.

    Many families new to our country, were grateful and appreciative of the help. When they got here, buying uniforms was not a high priority for them. I'm so glad we were able to relieve them from that as their main focus was getting settled in a new country.

    Thank you again for supporting our children.”

    Ms. Mason

  • Positive Behavior Incentives and Supports for Virtual Learners!

    Funded Mar 10, 2021

    Thank you for funding our campaign. We were able to reward our children for their hard work during virtual learning. We were able to receive items that the children can use at home or in school while staying safe during this pandemic.

    Many of our children have overcome many obstacles this past school year. The main obstacle was being stuck in the home with little exercise. It was exciting to be able to reward them with with the items that didn't require them to sit behind a computer.

    Your support was greatly appreciated!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Mason

  • Tools For Learning At Home

    Funded Jan 27, 2021

    Thank you for your donation to this campaign. As we navigated through virtual learning last school year, our students were provided with the necessary tools to be successful. They received head phones to minimize the background noise at home so that they can focus on their teacher on the computer. They also received lap desks so that they could work on the couch or floor if there was limited space for learning at home.

    They were very happy and excited when I arrived at their homes with their headphones and lap desk. Even the younger siblings not in school wanted one.

    As we begin a new uncertain school year (2021-2022) I am confident knowing that our kids have tools at home if we need to switch to distant learning again.”

    With gratitude,

  • ESL Students Need School Uniforms

    Funded Aug 9, 2019

    I am so overwhelmed with joy at this moment. We are grateful for your donations for our children. You wouldn’t believe how having new uniform clothes to wear make some of our children feel who are used to hand me downs and worn clothes. Thank you for this blessing.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Mason

We have many children from different countries that do not have basic school supplies. In addition, many families are not able to buy uniforms for their children. Therefore, some children come to school out of proper uniform attire and feel left out. The clothes that they are wearing may be too small or handed down to them from several other children in the family. As a result, they may not be as productive during the school day. As the school counselor, I have found that when the children are in their uniform, they are feeling their best. They do not have to worry about whether they are wearing the most modern clothes. They can focus on their learning.
