  • Printing in Color is Fun!

    Funded May 3, 2022

    It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward "Printing in Color is Fun!"?! With the awesome supplies, I was able to supply my students with a way to print designs in color which they were able to share with others.

    Our classroom activities are usually highly anticipated and full of fun and excitement and it warms my heart that they get to experience 21st c technology this year.

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

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Owens

  • Classroom Comfort

    Funded Nov 30, 2021

    It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward "Classroom Comfort"! With the awesome carpet, I was able to supply my students with the comfort they need to enjoy openings and small group learning.

    Our projects and activities are usually highly anticipated and full of fun and excitement and it breaks my heart that they haven't always had a carpet to sit on during class. This carpet has already made up for a portion of that fun, that they hadn't gotten otherwise.

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

  • Working Technology Is Super Fun!

    Funded Oct 25, 2021

    It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward Working Technology is Super Fun! With the keyboards, mice, and headphones, the students have gained a better understanding of using technology. It has been a positive influence that they have access to tools that work and the students are building and developing a respect and understanding of taking care of the technology they use at school.

    Having access to technology has empowered my students to have positive attitudes towards hardware, and that it is okay if they've never used them before! That exposure is priceless in the world we live in today. They will one day be experts on the computer and character minded digital citizens of this world.

    Again, thank you for your donation. Our children's faces lit up when the supplies arrived! They beg me everyday to switch out their old keyboards and mice. This is also gaining their love for technology. We thank you that our students have an abundance in school, even though that may not be the case elsewhere."”

  • 3D Printing: Modeling the Future

    Funded Sep 3, 2021

    Thank you so much for giving to our students. This 3D printer is a real life opportunity for students to bring their designs to fruition! Students have been even more excited to create things just so they can bring it to life using the new printer. Students wanted to create something they could keep for a long time so we've started designing and printing keychains students have created and personalized themselves. This is helping me so much bring some fun and excitement back to the classroom. Thank you so much for giving my students and glimpse of real world technology and future occupation options. With the help of the community anything is possible!”

  • Working Technology is Fun

    Funded Aug 4, 2021

    Thank you so much for your part in making my classroom more equitable for students.

    Although the tools may seem simple for some they have played a large part in make my classroom whole!

    Students have enjoyed using wireless items during class and look forward to class every week.

    I am amazed at how excited students are to use the technology in the classroom because they may not have an equal technology device at their home.

    Again, thank you for your generous donation. It truly takes a community to raise a child and the world to support a classroom!”

  • Computer Lab Safety for Kids

    Funded Feb 3, 2021

    Thank you so much for helping me keep students and myself safe at the end of las school year. The rolling cart allowed me to travel with items from classroom to classroom since my computer lab became unavailable. And the plexiglass provided a safe barrier between me and the students during class. This helped lessen anxiety for me and students. It was important that I was able to do this in order to be a better and stronger teacher and leader on the classroom. It also guaranteed that I'd be prepared for any event that may occur. Thanks again!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Owens

We all know students can use iPads to play a million different games free or purchased from the App Store. That's not my end goal. My idea is to make students connect iPads to actual learning and future career skills. About 7 years ago my school was gifted with an iMac lab. This was great. It gave me the opportunity to learn a new software and my students experience in a new software that is more often used in today's workforce. There are certain projects that I could expand on if I had iPads in my classroom. For example, every year in third grade I teach basic video editing in iMovie. In this digital age of Youtube and TikTok videos going viral, many students are interested in videography and want to learn more. iPads will help them take their creative minds outside of the classroom and where they can capture and record material to create content that's related to things they care about in our community. Not only that, but then students could take their projects and our county's Tech Fair and show judges how they created their videos. iMacs unfortunately don't allow students to take their projects outside of the classroom. Not only will iPads make learning transferable, they will also make other technology gifted to our school work. In another example, our school received Sphero robots. But, we can't use them! In my elementary school, many students do not have personal devices and without a mobile device the technology isn't usable. It doesn't make sense to have technology and not be able to use it because the county hasn't provided us with the tools we need to succeed. My students show a strong interest in STEM and these projects will help enrich their learning experiences!
