• Let's Finish the Year with a Bang!

  Funded Apr 6, 2023

  I would like to start by saying thank you for your generosity.

  Every year around January, I am faced with needing more school supplies. It becomes a burden on my students and myself. Unfortunately, my parents cannot afford school supplies and have no alternative way to receive them. Your generous donations of school supplies has lessoned the burden on my students and myself. Words cannot express how thankful I am for your donations.

  Upon receiving the supplies, I distributed them out to all my students. With smiles from ear to ear, my students became engaged and excited to learn. I thank you for that.”

• My First Project!

  Funded Feb 8, 2023

  Thank you so much for your donation! I am very excited to use all of these new supplies in September!

  Having these supplies in advance will make everything more efficient for me when beginning the school year with my students. I will be able to provide them with everything they need to help run the classroom smoothly.

  The draws are already organized with new centers for them. They will have book baggies to keep their books organized when they go book shopping in the library. Thanks to your donation, my students will be able to depend on art supples, dry erase markers and folders, which will comfort them.

  Thank you for allowing my students to turn their focus to learning and not worrying about supplies.”

• Keep Calm, Keep Clean!

  Funded Dec 14, 2022

  I would like to begin by expressing how thankful I am for your generosity. I am new to Donors Choose and I am overwhelmed by everyones generosity! It has relieved me of so much anxiety in trying to keep up with buying all the supplies I need to run my classroom.

  As a teacher, it is my responsibility to teach and guide my students. Cleanliness of the classroom is a major part. A clean classroom has far-reaching consequences both on the teachers and learners as well as parents and whoever may visit my classroom.

  One of the major advantages that will be obtained from having a clean classroom is that it maximizes the learning experience for my students. In addition, I notice students are motivated by a clean classroom. It also helps develop good habits in students and children learn things from habits and routine.

  In conclusion, your generous gift was greatly appreciated and put into good use! Thank you so much for your donation.”
