Calling All Future Designers/Tailors/Seamstresses!
Help me give my students this Cricut machine to create their own design to make clothing that captures their unique, individual, and authentic identity.
Thank you for your donation to my projects my young scholars used the materials to develop a great understanding of using paint to express their creativity. The illustrations made by my students gave them a sense of autonomy and expressive innovative illustrations they shared with their families and other members of our school community.
Many of our students used the paint easel and materials daily in our classroom. Our classroom at times is limited to having materials that help support our students but with your generous donations you have provided them with that! This opportunity will spark a new joy of creativity for them all.”

The items I received in this project helped our young scholars with learning at home. They received backpacks filled with manipulatives, ABC letters, a journal, and the essentials they needed to support their developmental needs. We were facing an epidemic and when Covid struck the nation most of our students suffered a tremendous loss of learning. Especially our younger students but with the items they had received they practiced their counting, sorting, quantifying skills in math. They also practice scribbling and prewriting skills with the journal and didn't have to go out and buy them at the store.
I want to especially thank all the donors who gave to this project. The items could not have come at a perfect time when the young children in our community became affected negatively by this pandemic.”

Thank you for your generous donations to our project for our young scholars. They will now be able to enhance their developmental skills with these items and spark a new educational journey filled with fun, tactile and creative ways! I can't begin to tell you what it means to these kids to have these manipulatives at their fingertips! They are sweet, hard-working, highly intelligent preschoolers who sometimes just need a little boost, and you are all part of that for them. Our classroom is a better place because of your awesome contribution.”

Thank you for giving my scholars the opportunity to have these materials. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and we will have so much fun creating different structures and using our engineering skills. I can't wait to hear the ooohs and aaahs from the students as they use the new blocks. Thank you again for believing in our classroom!”

Thank you for funding my project and giving my scholars the opportunity to display photos of them engaged , collaborating and enjoying their special time with their peers in school. I used this printer to help showcase our exciting activities and our scholars working hard to learn new things.
The printer in our classroom also helped me teach my young scholars by providing visuals to share while I introduced to them new concepts and vocabulary. Most of my scholars enter the classroom with limited speech, some are non verbal and have learning disabilities and the visuals help promote and support their development. Some of our scholars love to refer back to their pictures and talk about their experiences with their peers recalling all details.”

It's hard to put into words how grateful I am for your donation to my project. I am committed to providing students with the materials in my project that develops lifelong skills, and it is inspiring to see so many others that share my vision for education. The tools that you have funded will enable students to deeply connect to their communities and their lives. They will fully explore literacy in so many exciting ways! My students love to learn new things, read and learn new words to expand their vocabulary and we're thrilled to be able to have these new books to do so. Thank you once more for your generosity. We can't wait to begin!”

This year was a tough one for my students they faced many challenges being remote. I used these materials to create meaningful, interesting and successful learning experiences for them through virtual learning. They enjoyed the books as they looked at the pictures and asked questions that promoted their critical thinking skills .
I want to thank you all for giving us the opportunity to use the materials to help promote their early developmental skills and give them a little sense of normalcy during this pandemic by seeing familiar items that they would see in their classroom if they were in person. You made a great impact in their early learning experience and this they will take with them throughout their academic life.”

The computers will give our children the opportunity to explore the world and become independent learners, giving them the power of technology! They will learn many ways to discover and learn with the new innovative programs available today. We would like to start teaching them as early as 3 years old to expand their thinking and language skills along with their fine motor skills. Many of our students may not be able to afford technology in their households, so at school they can get that experience! Giving my students the computers for them to use daily will minimize behavioral problems and expand their social emotional growth as they work on daily programs on the computers.
