Reading With Colors
Funded Jul 15, 2021Thank you so much for all of your help and donations. All of my students and my staff have made comments about how bright and colorful the Library is now. This has led to students taking great pride in the library and want to come even more now to the library. The stools and sit spots are great and the kids love them.
The poster provide a great little influence for the kids and some of the Kindergarteners are very excited when they recognize a word on one of the posters. These changes make the library a place that they want to come too and hang out and are taking more respect to with fun things that they can enjoy.
Thank you again.”

Funded Aug 24, 2021Thank you so much for the donations to help fund my project. These items have come in very handy as we tackle the Covid-19 pandemic and help cut down sickness going through our school.
I have been able to use the wipes to help clean off tables in between classes and the masks have come in very handy as sometimes our students are coming to school without masks. The masks are also great when we have students who masks break or get misplaced.
The pencils have come in handy as students are always asking me for pencils. They also make for great rewards and incentives.
Thank you again.”

Funded May 4, 2021Thank you so much for your donations. These Masks have come in quite handy both at the end of last school year and now into this current school year. We have students who have their masks that break or even get lost at one or even several points of the day, so to have these items makes it really nice that our students don't have to worry about if they have a functional mask or not. This way they can focus on their learning.
This time right now is tough on everyone and by having these masks the students don't have to worry about if they have a mask or not when they come to school.”

Funded Apr 6, 2021Thank you so much for your donation and support to our school. These books will provide a great opportunity for our students to have their love of reading grow. These Diversity books will help our students understand some of the differences between everyone and how everyone is the same no matter how we look or act. They will help them understand how to embrace their differences and how to treat others because of their differences.
I have had some great excitement by some of our staff members as I unpacked some of these books and are looking forward to sharing them with their classes.
From the bottom of my heart thank you.”

Improving Social and Emotional Learning at School
Funded Apr 11, 2021Thank you so much for your donation. The kids were so excited to see the items to help replenish our PBIS store. They are all absolutely in love with the items and we have seen an increase in positive behavior in all grade levels knowing that there are some fun things awaiting them in the PBIS store.
The teachers are also very excited to see the books. A few teachers have already checked some out to read to their classes. I have also used a few as read aloud to my classes during library time and have had great conversations surrounding the topic of the book.
Thank you again for supporting my school and our students. It is greatly appreciated.”

Place for Support
Funded Mar 2, 2020Thank you so much for your donation. These materials were a great addition to our library. Even though the students have not been able to fully enjoy everything due to Covid-19, they did enjoy the materials while they were able. I had put the various pencils in our PBIS (Positive behavior) school store and the students love when they get one of the special pencils when they choose a pencil. The chairs have also been an added bonus as a special place for students to sit while they are in the library.
Thank you again for your donation and support to our school.”

Travel into Reading Adventures
Funded Feb 15, 2021Thank you so much for your donation to help buy these books. It has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for my students. It has helped encourage some of the students at school that were on the fence about starting chapter books get excited about a chapter book. They all talk to each other and about their books and to see where the story took them. They get excited when I bring in a new one that they haven't seen yet. The best part about this series of books, The Time Warp Trio, is that the students are learning history without ever realizing it. It goes across different content areas and they are excited about the adventure.
Thank you again for your support to our school and to our students.”

Make Library Time Great!
Funded Dec 18, 2019Thank you so much for all the love and support. Every morning the students have come in to sit in the chairs and relax and read. We were all excited when we saw all of the boxes and the kids can't stop "petting" the fur on the chairs.
The baskets have been great for teachers to bring library books back and forth from the library and makes it really easy to get books back and returned.
The kids love the book marks and are starting to use them with their chapter books. Even some of the younger kids have been getting them an using them in their books to feel more grown up and special.
All of my students have loved coming into the library to hang out and to see what is going on and what is new. Thank you for helping make that happen.”
