  • Stay Fit Creatively While At Home

    Funded Nov 23, 2020

    We are so extremely appreciative of your PE donations. The students are using them daily to help out with not only their physical health but it allows them to bring out their emotional stability, as well. They have been so stressed with the pandemic, feeling helpless and hopeless, having a decrease of confidence, etc. that the PE equipment has helped their outlook in life. They are exercising and enjoying to learn to stay fit again and socializing a bit with their friends.

    It has brought a whole new outlook in their lives- so even just for that, we are so eternally grateful!!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Archer

    This classroom project was brought to life by Allstate Foundation.
  • Keeping Fit Inside and Out

    Funded Nov 10, 2020

    With tremendous gratitude, we can't say just how much the PE equipment means to our class. The students have been using the soccer balls and jump ropes daily. The weighted balls have helped them stay fit, as well, doing challenging exercises.

    The students were in tears when they saw all the equipment. They couldn't wait to open it all up. It's been so mentally draining, doing classes on zoom, that this donation uplifted them to level 10.

    They are able to stay fit with the balls and jump ropes, during their game and socialization time using these equipment and social distancing. The students want to make games for the kids who are still remote learning so they can be happy and motivate them to do their school work. In addition, they want to give them hope by making flipgrid videos so that their peers can have some sign of relief that they can come back and be back to some sort of normal again.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Archer

    This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose 20th Anniversary Fund and 6 other donors.
  • Broadcasting Learning WORLDWIDE!

    Funded Aug 24, 2020

    Thank you so very much! We can’t wait to make our commercials and school side videos to show how we can make positive change in our community! We are so excited and can’t control our emotions right now. We are overjoyed for this opportunity! We are extremely thankful!”

  • Let the Games Begin!

    Funded Jan 1, 2020

    It has improved the students' motivation to learn. Thank you for the Nintendo Switch and the headphones. We truly appreciate all the blessings by helping us with math and art to come alive again! We were engaging in all the lessons, and finally understanding the concepts in science, math, and social studies. The creativity in the Minecraft Education, using the vital equipment, made it so fun and real at the same time. Thank you for allowing us to have such a fun atmosphere, as we were learning our core standards!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Archer

  • 3D Survival Techniques for the Elite Minecraft Gamers

    Funded Jan 1, 2020

    We are so eternally grateful for this opportunity to have the Minecraft education, the Switch, and the headphones to increase our technological knowledge that we could transfer to our core curriculum! We totally enjoyed ourselves!

    Our Minecraft after school program became so popular after more and more kids knew what we were doing: having so much fun while integrating math and science into making our own worlds. We got to be so much more creative with our skills, collaborate with our peers, and share what we learned with the whole school.”

    Mrs. Archer

  • Memories FROZEN

    Funded Jan 1, 2020

    We are so grateful for the printer, to help enable our picture processing, to create our first ever school yearbook. We have been collaborating with other clubs such as the photography club and video/digital arts club to create our school memories together. This printer is such a gift to us, to help roll out our project of our 2019-2020 memories for the whole school!!!!”

    Mrs. Archer

When kids are able to move up and down and control their movements in a positive way, children will be able to produce more and retain more information. When a group of kids are working in small groups, they can either be sitting at a loft setting, desks, or on balance yoga chair balls. The kids are able to get up and get down to help them stay on task. When there are options for the kids, they can make better choices and know how their body works to produce more of an effective assignment and be in a better frame of mind when they are comfortable and at ease. All of my students are ecstatic to see the wonders of being able to sit in non-orthodox seating, to be able to move and stretch while learning and having fun. Positive movement and seating has been proven for our students to retain the information longer and become even more effective learners. It will benefit our students by learning at their own pace and having a comfortable style for their bodies to stretch out and bounce when needed. The yoga chairs will be such an asset to the kids so they are not just secluded to broken desks that are not their height nor can they fit in, sometimes. It has been seen by many of our staff and teachers how the yoga balance chairs have helped students in other classes or settings and how much improvement the kids' work has increased and the heightened engagement it has brought to their studies across subject areas.
