  • Keep Going And Going...

    Funded Aug 10, 2022

    It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give toward "Keep Going And Going..." My students never have to deal with a dead computer or have a hard time putting up their computers, thanks to the Tech Tub2 tubs. My students have benefitted from being organized because of the tubs.

    I am thankful that my students do not lose any teaching time because they have the upper hand in transition time. It is incredible how fast my students get ready!

    Again, thank you for your donation. The students have benefitted immensely, and I look forward to using the Tech Tub2 tubs with next year's students.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Brinkley

  • Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Oh My!

    Funded May 27, 2022

    It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give toward "Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Oh My!" My students never ask, "What do I do now?" thanks to the Building Math Skills Practice Cards. My students enjoy practicing their math skills with these cards, everywhere they go. The cards provided them with the opportunity to continually review what we have been learning in class. My students have benefited from using them, the skills are always fresh in their minds. The need for students to continuously practice their math skills is essential and has become evident after the pandemic. I am thankful that my students have the upper hand by practicing with these cards.

    With the Building Math Skills Practice Cards, the students have been able to do so much more than what I initially imagined. It is incredible how fast they learned their math facts!

    Again, thank you for your donation. The students have benefited immensely, and I look forward to using the Building Math Skills Practice Cards with next year's students. It has been wonderful to see my students get lost in learning!”

  • Technology for Everyone Part 2

    Funded Dec 11, 2019

    It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give toward Technology for Everyone Part 2. The need for technology became even more apparent this year as my students were forced to learn from home due to the coronavirus disease. I wish all my students had access to technology at home, but since it is not the case, unfortunately, it is essential for them to at least have it a school.

    With the HP Chromebooks donated, the students have been able to do so much more than what I initially imagined. It is incredible how fast they learned how to use them. My students were able to take these skills and apply them when doing online classes at home.

    Again, thank you for your donation. The students have benefited immensely, and I look forward to using the Chromebooks with next year's students. It has been wonderful to see my students get lost in learning. I apologize that my students were unable to send thank you notes since we were not at school for the last nine weeks of the school year.”

  • Technology for Everyone

    Funded Dec 17, 2018

    It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give toward Technology for Everyone. With the HP Chromebooks that were donated the students have been able to do so much more than what I originally imagined.

    The students were beyond excited to have access to technology, being that the majority don't have computers at home. It was also great for my new students that have just arrived to the United States and had never had interaction with a computer. It is amazing how fast they learned how to use them.

    Again, thank you for your donation. The students have benefited immensely and I look forward to being able to use the Chromebooks with next years students. It has been truly wonderful to see my students get lost in learning.”

  • Financially Smart Students Coming Soon

    Funded Jan 17, 2019

    It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give toward Financially Smart Students Coming Soon. With the materials that were donated we have been able to explore financial literacy hands-on.

    My students were delighted to learn about saving and spending money! The engaging books allowed them to get lots of reinforcement and the hands-on shopping games were tons of fun. They learn the concept and then played the games. The activities encouraged them to create a budget based on the allowance they got or money they earned, which was great since my students don't actually get an allowance at home.

    Again, thank you for your donation. The students were so excited when the items arrived. They wanted to do the activities right away. It was wonderful to see my students happy, learning and engaged.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Brinkley

As wonderful as my school is, unfortunately like most inner-city schools we have a lack of technology. In my classroom the current student to computer ratio is 6 to 1. My students will use these Chromebooks for math stations, STEM math & science activities and to learn how to code. As well as to access math educational websites such as Prodigy, Khan Academy and Imagine Math, websites that help students learn at their own pace. Having Chromebooks will help my students develop the skills necessary to succeed in the 21st century. "Technology has the power to teach, motivate, captivating and transform a classroom into a training ground for the next generation of artist, entrepreneurs and leaders. "(Silicon Valley Business Journal, 1997) Thank you so much for believing in what we are doing in our classroom, any kind of support will be greatly appreciated.
