  • Mindfulness Journals for My Students

    Funded Dec 13, 2021

    Thank you for your generosity. Through your help, we were able to use meditation journals to help incorporate mindful practices into my students' daily routine and help calm anxiety and build healthy coping skills.

    My students have been thrown in the world of pandemic learning and all the challenges and stress that come with it. These journals have been an outlet for their feelings, thoughts and ideas. My hope was that in these journals, they will also feel inspired to write about things that make them smile, and give them joy despite the stress happening in our world these days.

    A few of my students are artists, so many of them have enjoyed the "Wreck This Journal" as it makes them think outside the box and encourages them to be creative.

    Thank you for this all your help and support.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Jo-Ann

  • Improving Literacy Through Independent Reading

    Funded May 15, 2009

    Thank you so much for your generosity.

    The books and audio books you donated are substantial additions to our classroom library. Many students initially came to class with no interest in reading. Some of my them have learning disabilities. However, the books you sent us made my students engaged in reading. Now they continue to develop habits of good readers inside and outside the classroom.

    In behalf of my student and school community, thank you very much. May you continue to help good causes like ours.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Jo-Ann

    This classroom project was brought to life by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and 2 other donors.
