  • “Empowering Teens: Mental Health Resources and Support”

    Funded Oct 22, 2024

    I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your incredibly generous donation to my classroom. Thanks to your support, my students with disabilities now have access to mindfulness books, a yoga ball, stress balls, and snacks that are already making a meaningful difference in their daily lives.

    The mindfulness books have given my students new tools for self-regulation and emotional awareness. These resources allow them to practice strategies for staying calm and focused, which is vital for their well-being and academic growth. The yoga ball has become a favorite in the classroom, providing a fun and interactive way for my students to release energy and stay engaged during lessons. The stress balls have proven to be an invaluable resource, helping my students to manage anxiety and remain calm in challenging situations. And of course, the snacks are a much-needed boost to keep them energized and focused throughout the day.

    Your generosity has not only improved the physical and emotional environment of our classroom, but it has also instilled a sense of hope and encouragement in my students. They now feel supported and empowered to take care of themselves and thrive in school. It's moments like these that make such a lasting impact, and we are truly grateful for your commitment to enhancing their educational experience.

    Thank you once again for your kindness and support. You are making a real difference in the lives of my students, and we will carry your generosity forward in everything we do.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Davis-Gittens

  • Caught Being Good Incentive Store Needs Supplies!

    Funded Apr 11, 2019

    Today, education is still an essential part of our youth's upbringing. Therefore, with your donations to the CBG (Caught Being Good) store, you've all became an active participant in our school. As the Behavior Management Teacher and PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) Administrator at Linda Lentin K-8 Center, my donors have become an irreplaceable member of our team. I was very excited and humbled to receive such timely donations. These new resources have activated a reward system second to none. It has provided a much-needed motivation for our students.

    Upon unveiling the donations, the students first reaction was priceless. Their excitement blared and echoed across the room. The feeling was mutual, as I share their joy. They were able to see the rewards that await them for their hard work. As students and teachers share common interest in the CBG (Caught Being Good) store, you all have now actively, share that same interest.

    The contributions of this project has expanded to the classroom school wide. Thus, evoking the sense of citizenship. Our students undesired behavior has decreased, giving light that we are moving in a positive direction. I've expressed the joy that we all feel as a result of you guys. Therefore, hoping that this teachable moment will transcend into a school culture and in our communities.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Davis-Gittens

  • Caught Being Good Incentive Store!

    Funded Jul 10, 2019

    Thank you very much for the donations to the Caught Being Good Store! What a generous gift! The students with Emotional/Behavioral Disabilities couldn't believe that there are people out there that care enough to send donations to our school. Because of your donations, the students got to earn tickets to purchase snacks at the Caught Being Good Store for good behavior and academic achievement each week. It is not so much the donations that Donors Choose Team sent that makes the event so special, but the fact that it came from the Donors Choose Team, an organization that supports teachers. Thank you very much. We appreciate your thoughtfulness. Your timing was perfect!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Davis-Gittens
