  • Coloring and Annotation for Mental Health

    Funded Sep 8, 2024

    I hope this note finds you well. I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of Post-it notes, colored pencils, felt tip pens, highlighters, and thin markers. Your support has made a tremendous difference in our classroom.

    These supplies are not just tools for journaling and annotating work; they are instrumental in fostering our students' mental well-being. By engaging in creative and reflective activities, students can express their thoughts and emotions in a constructive manner. The act of journaling and annotating can serve as a powerful outlet for managing stress and developing self-awareness. The vibrant colors and various writing tools also make these activities more engaging, helping students feel more connected and motivated.

    Your thoughtful contribution is not only enhancing their academic experience but also supporting their mental health in meaningful ways. Thank you for helping us create a nurturing and expressive learning environment.

    With deep gratitude,”

    Funded Mar 14, 2024

    Dear [Donor's Name],

    I hope this note finds you well and filled with the warmth of gratitude, as that's precisely the sentiment we wish to convey to you today. Your generous donation of Sharpie markers for our Black Out Poetry project has truly made a difference.

    With your support, students in our program will have the opportunity to engage creatively with literature in a unique and meaningful way.

    We are immensely grateful for your kindness and generosity. Your belief in the power of education and creativity is inspiring, and we are honored to have you as a supporter of our endeavors.

    Thank you once again for your generosity and for making a positive impact on the lives of our students. Your kindness will be remembered and cherished for years to come.”

    I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your generous contribution to our classroom project. Your support in providing post-its and black sharpies for our students to create blackout poems for the novel "Night" by Elie Wiesel is truly appreciated.

  • Relevant and Inclusive - The Class Library They Deserve!

    Funded Dec 13, 2019

    The books you have donated have re-ignited a passion for learning for my students! They are thrilled with new and inclusive books in their classroom. While these books will help students better their reading comprehension and character analysis skills, most importantly it will show them that reading can be enjoyable.

    Because of your generous donations, reading in my classroom is now prized time. Students are excited to take out their independent reading books, relax, and get lost in a book. Students especially enjoy seeing characters and authors that look like them and represent their cultures decorating our classroom.”

    With gratitude,

My students begin class every day with independent reading, as numerous educational studies have proven that it is the best way for young readers to grow. Unfortunately, independent reading has become a challenge, as our class libraries are dated and not at all representative of their identities, cultures, stories, and histories. All kids deserve to have their story told. They deserve to have their experiences represented and feel welcomed into the world of reading. These books will support a vision of a culturally relevant environment where my students can feel safe and recognized. A library which includes authors, characters, and stories that reflect the young people reading them is integral to how they understand the world around them, as well as their growth in literacy skills.
