  Words can't describe how incredibly lucky we are that you supported us. Thank you for allowing us to read and learn about the world. We use Scholastic Magazine during center time.

• No Time Like the Present to Explore Time for Kids

  Funded Oct 21, 2021

  Thank you so much for your donations!!! Students used the Time For Kids in their reading centers. One of the articles read was Crisis in Ukraine. Students were inspired by how the world responded with donations for the refugees. We decided that Bunker Hill should also get involved. The fourth grade team decided to collect Pennies for Peace and to donate all proceeds collected. It turned out that the whole school wanted to take part. Being an inner city school, and not having much, students raised $1,700 worth of change. A simple Time For Kids article that you donated inspired the students to give back and for that we are grateful. Thank you for all that you do, you all rock❤️!”

• What is Happening Around Us, and Exploring the USA

  Funded Aug 11, 2020

  Thank you for all that you have done. Presently, we are full remote. My students sign on every day to learn, while I teach from an empty classroom. The digital Time For Kids subscription is a big hit. Students are able to access nonfiction articles and keep current with what is happening around them. Also, thank you for allowing us to connect with other 4th graders around the United States. We mailed out over 100 postcards from Connecticut thanks to you. Students are also excited when we receive one from different states. Keep doing what you do, your generosity has touched many in our class and many around the United States.❤️”

• Playing Games Makes Us Use Our Brains

  Funded Dec 26, 2018

  Thank you so much for funding our project. Thanks to you my students are having a great time learning in their math centers. The board games are awesome, and the best thing is students are very motivated to play. These kids are very competitive and want to win. In order to win they need to have the right math skills. I even over heard a student say that he practiced a skill the night before in order to beat his friend. So far they know how to play 3 out of the 7 games. We have another 80 days to learn the other 4. Thank you for supporting our class and making this class very happy!!! Keep doing what your doing, you're truly making a difference!!!!”
