    Funded Dec 4, 2019

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting the amazing flexible seating project! Three Kindergarten classrooms have benefited from your generosity to our project. The chairs and tables are used daily to help give students opportunities to work alone or with a partner to make their learning just right for them. It is generous sponsors like YOU that make projects like these come to life in classrooms! My students and I can't thank you enough for your donation and your support ! YOU made a difference!!”

    With gratitude,

  • For the LOVE of READING!

    Funded Nov 28, 2018

    Thank you so very much for your most thoughtful and generous donation! Our kindergarten classrooms have already benefited from the fiction books along with the rolling carts. Your donation has put fictional books into the hands of our young readers.

    These books are right at their level and with the cart system the children are able to place the books back into their spot which builds independence. These fictional books are used to introduce characters, feelings and how to resolve problems. The rolling cart is used during independent reading where our students are able to make choices and also partner read.

    Thank you again for donating to this project! These books will be in our Kindergarten classrooms for many years to come!”

  • Lighting Up Our Learners!

    Funded Jul 22, 2018

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the amazing new materials! The boxes arrived and the excited of my kinderg�rtners was electric! I was thrilled to have the new media cart place to put my laptop and speakers to organize our materials to make the flow of the lessons run smoothly!

    The kids love the soft colorful pillows and started using them right away in our classroom library! One of the students said "our library is so cozy now !" It's amazing how new materials can bring such excitement and joy! The new pocket chart is now filled with our letter cards and is used daily for whole group and center based work!

    Thank you again for your most generous donation to our classroom! It's people like you that make our schools stronger and learning accessible for all!”

  • Guided Reading Emergency!!

    Funded Nov 1, 2010

    Thank you again for donating the two reading tables to our second grade team. The tables are set-up and being put to use each day. These tables provide an area for small group instruction that my students need to reach their academic goals. My classroom is small and the tables fit beautifully into my classroom and will be permanent pieces of furniture for many years to come.

    As you will see from the students' letters they too are excited to be out from behind their desks and off the rug for extra instruction. The tables are not just used for reading, but are used across the curriculum. Remediation and small group work has now become a much easier part of my daily instruction. Your dedication to education and generosity has truly made a difference in my classroom and in the enhancement of education of my students. The addition of these tables has been a huge asset to the overall growth of my students. Thank you again for funding my much needed project!”
