  • Fighting Hunger

    Funded Apr 16, 2025

    I would like to take this time to thank you for helping us get this project funded. We look forward to planting and sharing what we have with others. It will help our students who need a little extra at home to share with their families, and hopefully produce enough that we are able to give to our surrounding community.

    This is such an amazing project that you allowed us to have. I look forward to our students feeling the joy that comes from giving to those who are in need.”

  • Water Flow

    Funded Apr 7, 2025

    This project has helped us get the water we need for our garden. We appreciate it so very much. We now can grow produce and get it into the hands of our students who need it. We have so much fun with our garden and we were scared that we may not be able to have one this year.

    With your help you have changed that. We are currently growing watermelon, squash, cucumbers, and some other things started. We are so looking forward to the harvest. Your help is what made this possible for our students. Once again, thank you for giving.”

  • Garden Tools

    Funded Mar 26, 2025

    Thank you so much for helping my students get the tools we need for our garden. We have already started putting them to use.

  • Water Our Garden.

    Funded Mar 21, 2025

    We have been able to plant and water our garden with your support. We appreciate your help with getting this project funded. With the help of our maintenance people, they were able to build a box to hold the water pump, battery, and control in order for it to be protected. They also built a support system so the solar panel can sit on the fence.

    We now have a way to get water to our garden and able to plant in it. This would not have been able to happen without your support. We appreciate your kindness in giving to this project to help so many students. We look forward to being able to have a harvest and send home with our students. You are a true blessing to our class.”

  • Making it Though the Year

    Funded Mar 14, 2025

    This came just in time. We were running our of markers for the whiteboards. These will help us get through the next two months. We didn't have any pencil top erasers left. Thank you for giving to this project. It will help us get through the year. The students like the retractable erasers so much. There is enough for each student. When the make "big" mistakes they are able to use those instead of their pencil erasers. They help with the younger students too.

  • Class Organizers

    Funded Feb 13, 2025

    Thank you so very much for helping fund this project. Our class looks much better with these items. I also helps the students have a place to put their packets. They know they come right into class and get their packet so we can start our lessons. They each have a spot so there is no confusion and they are able to see their names on their packet. It makes it much faster to get started with their lessons.

    The pencil holders and other items to hold stuff, means that everything is right at their spot. Everything has a place now and they know where to get it. Thank you so much for your help.”

  • New Laptop

    Funded Feb 6, 2025

    Thank you so very much for helping this project. This means that my students have a computer they can use and be up to date.

    One of my students is in need of using Bluetooth for his hearing aids. We now have a computer that he can use for that.

    Other students will be able to use it to do their reports on and be able to save them. They will now be able to use different applications with this computer.

    We are very excited to have more to add to our classroom, but without the help of your donations, we would not have this one. Thank you very much for your support.”

  • Drip, Drip, Drip

    Funded Nov 28, 2023

    We are very thankful for your support with this project. We are able to water our plants that are not on the watering system. This ensures that they are able to get watered even when we are not at school.

    The students learned how to measure, cut, and place the drip system where it would cover the most amount it could. They look forward to continuing to expand our garden area and have more plots to grow things in.

    We could not have these things without the support of caring people as yourselves. Thank you once again.”

My students are K-8th grade special needs students. Our school is on free or reduced lunches. Most of my students come from one parent homes or are being raised by their grandparents and many are latch key kids. There are very few resources for my students to use considering the socioeconomic status of the community.
