Mental Health Matters
Funded Sep 18, 2024We are incredibly grateful for your generous support in helping to fund our Mental Health Club at Hialeah Gardens Middle. Thanks to your contributions, our students were able to utilize all the resources you helped provide, including journals, stickers, markers, and beads, to create different Mental Health related activities, such as journaling and goal writing, and making positive bracelets.
These materials played a crucial role in fostering a healthy mindset among our students. They participated in activities that not only promoted mental well-being but also spread positivity throughout our school. Additionally, our students worked together to give back to their teachers, creating a wonderful sense of community and gratitude.
Your kindness has made a significant impact on our students' lives, and we cannot thank you enough for your support.”

Minds Matter Movement
Funded Jul 17, 2023I'd like to thank you once again for assisting our school's Mental Health Club in obtaining materials to support our students. With your generous donations I have been able, and will continue, to create activities for our students that encourage positive ways to take care of their Mental Health.
We are able to meet monthly and not only work together on positive habits like journaling or arts and crafts, but also create activities for our group to participate with other students who are not in the club. We have held a few activities during students' lunch time by handing out stickers with positive affirmations, create kind notes for others on World Kindness Day, and many more.
My students have been so happy to receive these materials! We appreciate all of you so much. I hope to continue to grow the Mental Health Club as the years go on.”

Funded Sep 27, 2022Once again I'd like to thank you for your generous donations to our volleyball team. With your contributions we were able to purchase new equipment like volleyballs and knee pads for our team. The girls were ready from day one!
We had an amazing season full of laughter and celebration. Ending the season with a 5-1 record, our team made it to the play in games but we did not take home the title. Regardless, the team pushed through the season with so much dedication and at the end it was a great time. We are all so thankful for everyone who helped to get us there. Looking forward to our next season in 2023!”

Keeping Sports Alive!
Funded Sep 17, 2022Once again I'd like to thank you for your generous donations to our volleyball team. With your contributions we were able to purchase TWICE as many volleyballs as I had originally requested and extra knee pads for our team. The girls were ready from day one and were so excited to start the season with brand new equipment. It also made me really happy to be able to provide them with good quality volleyballs for our practices.

Funded Sep 10, 2019Thank you so much for your generous donations that helped my girls and I have a wonderful volleyball season! Having the new equipment to practice with really helped our team stay motivated. Believe it or not, our girls would've been happy playing with old equipment because I'm blessed to be working with a group of amazing young women. These kids appreciate whatever you can give and we are so grateful for what we received.
This season we ended in the top 3 and we enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you again to Donors Choose and our donors for making our new season together a great one!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Mission Tiger and 3 other donors.A Helpful Hand Leads to a Happy Heart!
Funded Oct 16, 2018First and foremost I would like to say thank you to our donors for funding this project so quickly! The girls and I were so happy to have received our equipment during our season and are thankful that we were able to use them before playoffs. We used our new volleyballs, agility ladder and cones every time we had practice, which created great variety for each day. I was able to keep practice fun and exciting with new tools for the girls. They were so happy when they saw the new volleyballs, considering our old ones were ripped or deflated. I think it really helped with moral of the team as well as prepping us for our games. In the pictures you can see we put all of our tools to good use! I was also able to give them the hair ribbons on their very last game of the season, which might have given them more motivation because we won and made it to playoffs!! They were very stylish and confident. Thank you again for making my first year coaching these girls a great one! On behalf of the team, we are very grateful and look forward to next year!”
