Blooming Futures: Empowering Students With Garden Supplies
Funded Jan 11, 2024I am thrilled to express my sincerest gratitude for your recent contributions towards our classroom projects. Your generosity has allowed us to acquire an array of essential resources that have already begun to make a significant impact on the learning experience of my students.
With the AquaSprouts Complete Set from Carolina Biological Supply Company, we have embarked on an exciting journey into aquaponics, integrating hands-on learning about ecosystems and sustainable agriculture. Witnessing the students' fascination as they observe the symbiotic relationship between fish and plants has been truly inspiring.
Upon introducing the DonSail Hoe Garden Tools and the flexible cutting board mats, the students were eager to participate in our gardening and cooking activities. They took pride in tending to our classroom garden and preparing nutritious meals using freshly harvested produce.
The Squishy Stress Balls and Galaxy Putty Slime have provided much-needed sensory relief for students dealing with anxiety and attention difficulties. These tools not only promote relaxation but also foster a sense of camaraderie and inclusivity within the classroom.
Looking ahead, we plan to utilize the Ultra Large River Rocks for a rock painting project, fostering creativity and self-expression among the students. Additionally, the Mini Hot Glue Gun Set will be instrumental in facilitating various arts and crafts activities, further enhancing their fine motor skills and creativity.
As we continue to incorporate these resources into our curriculum, I am confident that they will play a crucial role in fostering a nurturing and stimulating learning environment for all my students.
Once again, thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to enriching the educational experiences of our students. Your kindness and generosity have made a world of difference, and we are truly grateful.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Charles Schwab and 3 other donors.Magical World of Harry Potter
Funded Apr 7, 2022I cannot thank you enough for your donation! My students absolutely loved being transported from their regular class to the wonderful world of Harry Potter! In conjunction with reading the first book, I created fun "herbology class", "charms class", and we even played Quidditch! My readers who normally struggled to read or the ones who hated reading, turned into lovers of the book! It was truly a magical experience. Many of them asked to continue to read the next book of the series! Thank you friends, family and other donors. This was absolutely one of my most favorite projects and I enjoyed watching my readers grow!”
