Perfect Pencils
Funded May 17, 2022Thank you so much for helping my classroom this year and many years to come. Having reliable writing utensils and methods to keep them in working order is always a necessity in any classroom. This year has just started but already my students and I are enjoying smoother transitions and quicker response times. We are really enjoying being able to use our brand new pencil sharpeners, color pencil sharpener, and pencils any time we need. It seems like a small thing, but having this not be a point of contention leaves us available to focus on more important things.”

Colorful Learning
Funded May 4, 2022Thank you so so much for helping our classroom to be a brighter, more creative place to be. My students have loved having such easy access to new art supplies and possibilities. We have already been able to do many projects this year. Our favorite part has been the art drying rack. Being able to have all of our projects drying and waiting in one spot has been a game changer. It allows us to do art in chunks when we have time and be able to piece things together at the end. It lets us do art more often because we don't have to commit large time chunks. Thank you again and again.”

Fresh Air
Funded Jan 22, 2022Thank you so much for helping us to reach our goal of more outdoor time and fun activities. My students have loved having so much PE equipment at their fingertips. We were able to work on learning organized sports as well as focus on freetime and imaginative games.
I was so surprised to learn that many of my students had never seen or played kickball before. I was even more surprised when I equated it to baseball and found out that many of these amazing 4th graders also had never seen or played that before either.
It was a fun year with many great memories made. Thank you so much for helping bring those smiles to my kids faces.”

Fun Based Learning
Funded Nov 19, 2021Thank you so much for helping our class get the tools we so greatly appreciated! My students have been over the moon excited to finish assignments, pull out academic and steam based games, and get to playing! I have seen a great increase in engagement, basic skills that have eluded many for the year, and overall joy in the classroom.
My class has become masters of scrabble, which leads to fantastic dictionary and team building skills. They also breeze through fractions now that we have games associated with that skill. Thank you many times over!”

Yearbook Creators
Funded Apr 28, 2021Thank you so much for helping my students reach our goal and acquire our new yearbook cameras. We are still building our program this year, but having these amazing tools in the hands of students as we learn will be so dynamic. My students and I are still getting comfortable with things and really appreciate the opportunity to learn and take charge with our school's memories. My kids light up when they see that these tools are theirs to learn on and work with. They are becoming such capable yearbook builders and I couldn't be happier. Thank you again and again.”

Funded Mar 3, 2021Thank you so much for helping us to reach our goal and be able to have our own classroom reading club! As a class, we read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory together. They were beyond excited to recieve their very own copy of Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. We read it together everyday, really discussed the plot, summarized it often, and just had a great time. Most of my kids said that our book club was, by far, their favorite part of the year. Thank you so much for helping to create a bright spot in a pretty uncertain year.”
