Post Secondary Planning
Funded Nov 28, 2023Thank you so much for your donations. My students were so happy to be able to sit within our space and be able to use the laptops to look up colleges, attend virtual tours and work on college applications.
This Mac has been so helpful to pull students out of a larger setting and work one on one to make a more intimate individualized experience at post secondary planning. My students were so happy to be using such new amazing technology. The Mac alone made them more intrigued to see what could be done on it. This Mac technology was super fast and such a nice clean view. I'm so happy this motivated them into exploring post secondary plans.
I hope to be able to continue supporting my students as best possible. I believe we should allow our students to experience things in the best possible way. Students should not be held back because of their socioeconomic status. Words cannot express how much your donations were needed and appreciated.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and one other donor.Snacks and Supplies Make Such a Difference
Funded Sep 29, 2022Thank you so much for your donations. My students have been so happy to have access to snacks during their school day. They were also excited to help me organize all the donations, I'm sure it was so they can see all their options :-).They are much more present and involved in activities and assignments in class knowing they have rewards.
These snacks have been so helpful with getting students back on track and focusing in class. The headphones were also so much appreciated, it helped with concentration and less noise in class when everyone had their own headphones. The students loved the color of the face masks, they said it was better than 'the generic baby blues ones" everyone else wears. All supplies have come in so handy, we are so grateful!

Inspiring Minds
Funded May 23, 2020I apologize for such a late response; I thought I sent this prior, my sincerest apologies. This past year and a half has been a roller coaster of emotions to say the least. Thank you so much for funding my project. The "Creative Approach for Counseling Children" and "50 + Tech Tools for School Counseling" was really useful during these unexpected difficult times during remote learning and provided me with helpful knowledge.

Social Emotional Growth Through Games
Funded Nov 24, 2018Thank you so much for your donation. My students have been so happy to play with all these different games and have snacks while they play. They are so much more present and involved in activities when these games are used. They were so excited to help me organize all the donations.
These games have been so helpful with getting students back on track and focusing in class. Play may seem like it's just for fun but really its a good form of therapy. These games are able to teach my students skills such as turn taking, sharing, frustration tolerance, communication, and social skills just to mention a few. Most of the times our students are not talking to each other and too busy on their phones or computers. It seems like it has become harder and harder for kids to learn how to socialize and interact with each other. These donations have also allowed me to give students the opportunity to socialize and make friendships. It has also assisted in helping my students identify their feelings in a fun environment.
I hope to be able to continue supporting my students as best possible. Words can not express how much your donation was needed and appreciated."”

Hygiene Is Important
Funded Oct 5, 2018Thank you so much for the items; this has changed the classroom dynamics tremendously. We had a few students with body odor that would distract other students from learning. There would be constant ridicule and embarrassment. After receiving the products, I had a lesson on the importance of hygiene and gave each student a deodorant and lotion to keep in the book bags. I showed the class all the products accessible for them to use when needed.
The class now runs smoothly without the ridicule of bad odors which makes it so much more pleasurable to teach and the students feel better about themselves.
Thank you very much!”
