• Learning Is a Wobble Fun!

  Funded Dec 8, 2024

  THANK YOU so much for your tremendous support in funding the wobble seats for the students! They are in AWE and are so thankful for your donations! When the wobble seats arrived the students were so curious what could be in the boxes, when we took them out of the boxes they were in shock and their faces light up! They immediately asked when they could use them. We of course informed them of the purpose of the wobbles and when one can use it. By the end of the day, we had students test out the wobbles and they are LOVING THEM and SUPER FOCUSED. Since then, the students have been using the wobble seats responsibly and with such purpose.

  Again, thank you so much everyone for all your support in this project it is because of you all that students are able to learn in an environment that is best for them! You made a difference to so many young faces that will never forget this opportunity.

  Keep being your amazing selves!”

  With gratitude,

• Reward Our Nerds

  Funded Oct 11, 2023

  From the bottom of our students, thank you so much for your donation. With your donation students have been super encouraged to take risks and participate in class which gives them the opportunity to earn points towards their reward system. In addition, students have been stepping up their game and becoming strong ethical individuals in the classroom earning them chances to go be reward with toys and items that interest them.

  When the rewards arrived we did a big unveil and explained how these rewards were donated to you all by people that do not know you personally but care for you and want you to succuss. Let me tell you, they were in AWE and so beyond thankful! One kid even said, "can I meet these nice people and tell them how much I am thankful?" This truly warmed my heart and is exactly why this platform is so wonderful!!

  Thank you again so so much to being so generous and teaching these students how important it is to give back and that there are wonderful people in this world.”

• Cool Seats for Cool Friends

  Funded Mar 7, 2022

  I cannot thank you enough for funding our special seat project and giving the students the incredible opportunity to have flexible seating. Since the seats arrived, students have had the pleasure of sitting on special seats during academic periods and throughout the day to help them focus. This has truly helped improved their attention, participation, and desire to engage in lessons. Students have been given ample opportunities for special seating privileges and we will continue this throughout the year.

  When the students saw the seats for the first time, they were impressed and excited. They were blown away that other individuals helped contribute to their classroom experience. Their reaction was something I will never forget. A lot of them come from homes where they typically never get anything new or experience the feeling of excitement that you helped provide.

  Your donations are always appreciated and will never go unnoticed by this group of students!

  At this time, we are currently working on getting funded for additional STEM materials so students can have expanded hands-on learning experiences. This will give them the opportunity to learn new skills, increase lesson retention, and continue to foster passion for learning early in their academic careers.”

• Reward The Superstars

  Funded Dec 1, 2021

  Words cannot express how much these rewards are impacting the students.

  I am using the prizes for monthly rewards. If they earn a certain amount of Class DOJO points they are able to go to the treasure chest and select 1 or 2 prizes based on their points. The students have been on their absolute top-notch best behavior ever in order to get to go to the treasure chest and select one of the prizes that you so generously bought them. When its prize time the kids are so funny and so sweet that after each get called up they ask "which one did you get", "did you get the ________?" They also say how they can't wait to go back to the treasure chest and get something different or another one of the same prize that they just got.

  I mentioned to them that amazing people who don't even know them donate their hard working money that they made to this class because they know how much you all would appreciate the generosity, they were unbelievably shocked how kind people would be and called you all the BEST! The faces on the kids faces when they first saw the prizes were absolutely priceless and biggest smile I have ever seen on their faces.

  Currently in our class we are working on creating a new scene to a play. They are working with a partner that they don't typically work with usually and coming up with dialogue, setting, stage direction ect and then have to perform their new act. They are loving this project and excited to perform. In Science we are focusing on ecosystems and will making a food chain in class next week. In Social Studies we are focusing on the New World.

  We cannot thank you enough for providing to this students the gift of treasures that they will truly remember for years to come.”
