  • The Gift of Interactive and Effective Activities

    Funded Aug 13, 2021

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your contribution has made such a positive impact in my classroom. As you know, materials and activities that foster academic success and the retention of important information can be expensive, due to your generosity and selflessness, I was able to provide that to my students. Activities like life cycle lanterns, phonemic boom cards, reading and math work stations, interactive history study guides, science experiments, and endless academic and educational games that were technology and paper based, have made an indescribable impact in our classroom. My students and I are forever grateful.”

  • Let's Get Writing!

    Funded Jul 29, 2021

    I am so grateful for your contribution to our students. Writing is so important in a student's academic career, so having the appropriate materials early on is very significant. I cannot express enough the impact of having guided writing lines for primary and early elementary students. It teaches them how to write with appropriate size and legibly. Reading and writing are so heavily tied together, it is important to foster both in the classroom. Through your contribution and gift, we are able to provide writing practice that is significant to the success of all students. Thank you for providing that for my students.”

  • A New and Improved Classroom Library

    Funded Aug 31, 2021

    I am so beyond grateful for your contribution. My students LOVED the new books in their classroom library. Your gift added diversity, fun, adventure, and variety in our classroom. Through your contribution, we were able to expand our classroom library and provide books for students of all reading levels. This may sound like a small thing, but, students having books that they can read, understand, and enjoy independently is truly rewarding. It is my hope that your contribution of relatable, celebratory, and enjoyable books created life long readers. Thank you again and again.”

  • I Can Hear You Now!

    Funded Dec 22, 2020

    Thank you so much for all of your generosity! It meant, and still means so much to me. Last year was so different and one of the biggest learning experiences of my teaching career but, your donations helped make the load much lighter.

    My students received headphones that allowed them to hear me while I was teaching virtually and their peers while they shared their stories and ideas. Having the headphones made such a difference and helped keep the students engaged during online learning. I seriously could not have done it without you. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.”

    Ms. Thomas

These materials will make a difference because it'll allow my students to not be confined to the traditional classroom setting. I love these stools because it allows students to move in their seats and work at the same time. Teaching such a diverse group of students, I need a diverse seating arrangement. I have a few students who, as much as they would like to, cannot stay still while I'm teaching or work without wiggling, which is okay. I just would like for them to have something made for students like themselves. These amazing stools I selected will take learning in the classroom and flexible seating to a new level for them. They can sit in nontraditional chairs, get a chance to move around SAFELY, because that is what they are made for, and complete their classwork, read, learn, and have a brain break in a chair that is perfect for them.
