  • Books At My Level!

    Funded Apr 9, 2025

    Thank you so much for helping us receive books for our classroom. Next school year I will be teaching first grade, and these level books will be very helpful. These books are decodable and are easy to read. They are funny and interesting. I also received comic books that are leveled as well. Students will truly enjoy these books. They will be perfect for my new students coming from kindergarten. The levels we received are just right for my future students. Thank you so much for all your support and donations to our classroom. Your organization has done so much for my students all these years. I am truly touched and humbled by your generosity.”

  • New Year New School Materials!

    Thank you for our new classroom materials for our new school year. My future students will enjoy their new pencil boxes with crayons and pencils. They will have their new classroom writing journals for workshop, their math journals for small group work, and folders with sheet protectors to keep all their work together, organized, and safe. All these materials are necessary to have a great start. They will also receive their homework folder to keep their homework safe to and from school. The card stock paper will be used to make name plates, bookmarks and signs for our classroom. Thank you for all your kindness and support to our classroom project.”

  • Classroom Rug Needed!

    Funded Mar 13, 2025

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom project "Classroom Rug Needed!" I am so happy to have a classroom rug where all my students fit. I have 25 students and they all fit on the rug, no one is left out or sitting on the floor. Thank you for providing us with a rug that goes with our classroom theme.

    The day we received our rug, they were excited because it was new and big. My students love the fact that they all fit in it. It has 24 circles on it, but all 25 of them fit because it is big and spacious. They love it and i do too! Thank you for everything, your support, kindness, and donations. We are grateful for you and this organization!”

  • Diversity Is Beautiful! Part 1

    Funded Jan 22, 2025

    Thank you so much for your generosity. We love our new books and color printer. The books are a great addition to our classroom library. They are easy to read and understand. It teaches my students about being kind and understanding to others. I truly love them!

    My printer is amazing. I printed out pictures of all my students and made a We Are A Family collage. It was nice. I am able to print out color posters of different races and ethnicities. It was also very helpful during parent teacher conference. I printed out students data in color and it was so easy to explain to parents what their child's grade was according to the color.

    Thank you so much for your support and kindness to our classroom.”
