  • Simple Supplies

    Funded Jul 12, 2022

    Thank you for your contribution to the success of my students. Because of your donation, a child can worry about one less thing like having basic school supplies and focus on learning. The supplies will impact my entire classroom and will be used with gratitude and thankfulness. Blessings to you!”

  • On The Move! Keep Us Ready For Distance Learning!

    Funded Aug 9, 2020

    Thank you so much for your donation. These baskets made it possible for each student to have their own set of materials at their desks. It allowed for me to provide each student with a space for their own school supplies as well as a personal sanitizing station. With each student having their own materials right at their desks, it eliminated the need for any unnecessary sharing of germs. I will be able to sanitize and reuse these baskets for years to come. Thanks again for helping us navigate education during a pandemic.”

  • Financially Literate First Graders!

    Funded Oct 5, 2018

    Thank you so much for your contribution to the financial literacy of my first graders. Your gift of a laminating machine has become invaluable to our classroom. Our school is comprised of mostly lower income students, so resources are limited. Being able to laminate many of our materials allows for us to be able to reuse the resources over and over again.

    During our financial literacy project, my first graders learned how to count and use money while participating in a mock bank and shopping experience. Each student participated in several activities that required skills they will use in the real world. For example, they were given examples of sales papers and were given tasks to count how much money they needed to purchase the things on the shopping list.

    I teach a variety of learners. This laminating machine allows me to be able to create visual and tactile activities for all learners to be able to use for many years to come. Please know that your contribution is being used to its fullest potential.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Smith

Our class needs materials to participate in a financial literacy program where students will actively become a member in a mock banking system. Our students will earn, spend, and save money in a class situation. They will learn step by step procedures for keeping a checking account and a debit card. Students will learn about earning and spending as they complete jobs in the classroom. Children are never to young to begin learning about how to handle money. We will use the laminator and laminating sheets to add protection to our cards and paper money. The clicker will help navigate through the lesson presentations easily. Financial literacy is a great life lesson even for students as young as mine. Using money to learn about math is a great tool. They will learn about spending and saving to buy items. Students will learn about addition and subtraction in a fun hands-on way. The lessons they learn in first grade will follow them through their school career.
