Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! I cannot wait to see the look on my students faces when they receive these amazing awards at their 5th grade promotion ceremony! Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for your generosity. People like you make it possible to give my students long lasting memories and experiences that they can carry with them to the next grade level.”
AMAZING!!! OUTSTANDING!!! I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the generosity of each and every one of you. I can't believe that I was able to give my students new classroom furniture! They were so surprised when they walked in and saw the new tables. It is so much easier working on projected in groups with their classmates. It even makes my room feel more spacious. It's easy to conduct science experiments on these tables since they are much steadier and more stable to the previous ones. The laminated tops also allow them to use dry erase markers to write observations and calculate measurement data when completing their science experiments. Once again from thank you so much from my students and I for your generosity in getting this projected funded”

Thank you so much for your generous donations to my classroom and students. This particular project held a special place in my heart. I was so excited when it got funded. As a teacher I often come out of pocket for my students in need. The basic need of hygiene supplies is something that students feel ashamed and embarrasses about. I so happy to be able to provide wipes and mini deodorants to them whenever they need it.
I teach puberty age girls and having access to sanitary pads is a must. Most of them experience their first menstrual cycle unannounced and at school, so they are often unprepared for this monumental life event. It is very reassuring to know that I am able to help out during this delicate time for them. We even nick-named them "skittles" so that they don't feel too embarrassed when they come to ask for them.
So once again thank you so much for helping to fund this well needed project!”

From the bottom of my heart I want to say thank you! My students were so grateful for the snacks provided to them during their afterschool tutoring sessions. They were so excited and thankful for the snack bags that they received during each of their state testing sessions. Your generous donations allowed all of my students to benefit! I teach 4th and 5th grade science, which is about 100 students and I was able to provide them with snacks for all 4 of their testing days as well as those I had for after school tutoring sessions. You will never know how such a small act makes such a big impact.”
Thank you so much for all of your generous donation to my classroom's project! The students and I are overly excited to use all of the supplies donated to our classroom to complete fun and engaging science activities daily. The supplies donated helps to keep their science journals intact and organized. We use a lot of glue sticks for our science journals! They truly feel like real research scientist when we are learning about how the world around us works and especially when we are applying that knowledge with hand on lab experiments in class. Donors like, you have no idea how important and needed your donation is or the great impacted it has on so many little lives. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!”

It is with a big grateful heart that I say thank you on behalf of my class for your generosity. The donations granted from this projected has impacted my students in so many ways. They are able to have the supplies they need to be successful scientist in 5th grade. The microscope allowed them to really understand the concept of seeing things on a microscopic level. They really enjoyed the hands-on activity with the inflatable solar system! They were able to demonstrate the rotation of Earth as it revolved around the Sun. Donations like these allow students have fun while learning and take the curriculum off the pages and apply it in real life.”

It is so important for students to have the right supplies to be successful in their learning journey. My students love to use the colored paper for their science journals when we do activities. All of the glue stick are being used, because there is a lot of papers we glue into their journals, which is where the copy paper comes in handy!
Thank you so much once again for your generosity and giving heart. My students and I really appreciate everything that was given to us by wonderful people like you! We will continue to be thankful every time we use any of the donated classroom supplies.”

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone that supported me and my class for this project. It was my first project ever and was so excited to see people helping us out. It truly warms my heart to know there are so many people out there that have our backs and show their support for education like this. My school ran out of paper and everything came to a halt. Thankfully now I have my own supply and am able to print everything we need to continue on with our interactive science lessons.
