    Thank you very much for helping me supply the necessary materials that will help them improve their learning experience in my classroom. Each item on the list will make either whole group or small group instruction with my students a more impactful experience. From the bottom of our heart we thank you!”

  • Book Club, Buddies!

    Funded Sep 9, 2022

    It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward changing the world, one book at a time. With the books l received I was able to hold morning book clubs with children in grades 3-5.

    Being able to broaden my students love for reading with a multitude of books, and hold book and life discussions based off of those books has provided my students with the opportunity for insightful thoughts and conversations.

    Again, thank you for your donation. My student's faces light up when they get a chance to choose a book, read it and discuss it. This is also gaining their love for reading.”

    With gratitude,

  • Classroom Basics

    Funded Aug 9, 2022

    It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward "Classroom Basics"!

    There is so much for a kindergarten student to learn before they are able to apply themselves to their tasks independently! The early days of kindergarten are spent establishing early literacy and math skills, in addition to self care. With the awesome supplies, I received for September I was able to help my students not only stay organized but be accountable. Students were provided with name sheet protectors which helped them store their name sheet with letter and number line. Magnetic hooks are used to hold up their reading books and classroom anchor chart holders help the students locate their name for small group reading centers.

    Thank you for your kind and generous donations! We are very appreciative!!"”

  • Comfy Seats to Meet Your Sensory Needs

    Funded May 21, 2019

    "This is AWESOME!" one of my Kindergartners exclaimed after we opened the first box and they saw the wobble stools. They LOVE, LOVE,LOVE all the Flexible Sitting Options they now have. As a teacher in a low income community I want to say THANK YOU to all of you, for helping me provide the proper Flexible Sitting tools that now ensures the best learning outcomes for my students with sensory needs. Just imagine their faces when we opened those boxes. They were ecstatic and had to take turns sitting on every comfy seat we received. Now my students are on task longer for seat work. When they are sitting at the reading table they all fit because the wobble stools not only help them stay focused but provides them with ample space for everyone to learn at the same table. The Flexible seating not only provides them with comfort but also with choice, collaboration, movement, and sensory that is needed in a classroom with such a large a variety of needs. Thank you for helping me make this happen. Your gift of flexible comfy seating has truly made a positive impact on my students and their ability to concentrate for longer periods of time. They will not only benefit my current students but future generations of students to come.”

    Ms. Shay

When students are uncomfortable, they are disruptive and unproductive. Flexible seating allows students to find comfortable positions throughout the classroom. Comfortable students are calm, focused, and productive. Students learn better when they have a chance to work together. Flexible seating will provide my students not only with comfort but also with choice, collaboration, movement, and sensory input that it is all much needed in a classroom with such a large a variety of needs. Most of our students are in a classroom more than they are at home, so let us maximize their comfort and sensory input level to where they will demonstrate all their potential.
