  • Games to Build Brain Power

    Funded Jan 12, 2023

    Thank you for your generous donations. You have made such a positive impact on our students. They are able to focus by playing games and building social skills while playing with others. Covid has left a void in many schools across the country and your donations have helped to bridge the gap and allow students to build valuable social skills. The impact will be felt for years to come. It has been rewarding to see students mingle and help each other. they are gaining confidence to spark valuable friendships and become lifelong learners in the school community. Students have used these games as a way to understand and build on skills taught in the classroom and adapt to the obstacles ahead of them. The impact will be felt for years and you are the major reason for their growth. Thank you from all of us for your generosity.”

  • Cleanliness Is Friendliness

    Funded Jan 12, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. This project has made a tremendous impact in our school community. Students are able to walk with their heads held high cause they no longer fear being bullied and teased because of their hygiene. The hygiene kits have helped our attendance and academics to improve greatly. More students are coming to school on time and ready to learn instead of being worried and shamed for their hygiene.

    This project was a big success and I will create a new project for the upcoming school year because the impact was so great that this needs to continue and improve the liberate of each student and parents in our school community.

    Once again, thank you so much and we are forever grateful.”

  • DJ'ing: A Voice for the Silenced

    Funded Sep 6, 2022

    Thank you so much for your wonderful and gracious donations to our project. My students are overwhelmed with emotion and cried happy tears. With the equipment received, we are able to start our DJ club which allows for a wealth of knowledge to even the equity gap. Our students are already gaining valuable skills necessary to drive them forward in the work field. they are learning new skills and putting their musical talents to the test. Students are learning music production in the form of mixing, scratching, and all sorts of DJ skills. The newly acquired skills will give them a leg up and potentially lead to a better future by exposing them to an avenue that was never before explored in the school setting. You have opened up their eyes wide by allowing them to potentially reach for a goal they once saw as only a dream. so for that, we will forever be entirely grateful.”

  • Learning Snacks

    Funded Apr 21, 2022

    Thank you so much for your generous and kind donations to our class project. The snacks we received have been a blessing. My students are more active and engaged in their learning, simply because they are fed and not starving throughout the day. The learning snacks serve as a clear indicator that a well fed student is an active and engaged student. My students where thrilled upon receiving the snacks. My heart was filled with joy to see their happy and drooling faces. It is great for them to learn that there are people out there who care about them and are willing to donate to their cause. Once again, Thank you for your kindness. We will always have your generous and kindhearted deed in our hearts.

    Thank you”

  • Classroom Supplies

    Funded May 5, 2022

    Your generous donations has gone a long way in helping the next generation of leaders and innovators at my school. they are so grateful for your help. This year, we are able to start the school year with the necessary school supplies to equal the playing field against their counterparts in non Title I schools.

    I see students using post its to annotate texts and engaging in classroom discussions. They are using the highlighters to highlight and not differences and similarities they identify in characters. They are using art supplies to illustrate their thoughts and visibly note their thinking. These tools would not be possible without donors like you. My heart melts when I see students smile and they get the answers correct more often, our assessment scores have risen and we are doing so much better academically.

    The best thing I have noticed is the level of leadership and empathy displayed by students and they are flourishing and helping each other to achieve the highest level of success. I would like to think you from the bottom of my heart. you have made this teacher very happy and i will be forever grateful.”

Parents and teachers are worried about keeping children safe. This has been a year full of unknowns. We have seen many deaths and most people have fallen on hard times. Students need to feel safe at school in order to learn. Safety is a major priority and having the proper school supplies help to ease their minds. Keeping a clean and safe classroom will help students to focus on their learning and not looking over their shoulders and worry about being safe. These materials will help my students to feel safe and secure in the classroom.
