• Renew and Refresh

  Funded Jan 15, 2025

  Your help in my class has had a monumental impact. The students love the rug and want to read on it every day. The paper towels and dispensers help us keep the class clean and organized while we do artwork. The wall hooks let students hang their headphones or water bottles on their desks. We have been using the art materials, but we haven't even gotten to all of them yet. The students are so excited about it. I think their favorite is the wood cushions. They take turns daily to ensure everyone gets to sit on them. Thank you, thank you, for improving my classroom dynamics.”

• Reading With Style

  Funded Oct 3, 2024

  It has been amazing to see the students hit the ground running with these resources. The students love having these books available. They trade them out, take turns, and read together. They are fully involved in our school's reading challenge and are thriving. Thank you so much for making reading fun and comfortable. The students love having a reading area and books to enjoy. The headphones have also encouraged their reading as they listen to audiobooks. One of their favorite things is to draw in their art journals while they listen to audiobooks. Now, every student has access to headphones, which is invaluable as a teacher and helps to unify students' social economics. Thank you for all of your support!”

• Cleaning Up The Classroom

  Funded Apr 2, 2024

  Thank you so much for your support! It is wonderful to know there are people like you who are willing to help teachers improve their classrooms over the year. Your donations made a positive impact on my class. The necklaces gave some students the ability to get sensory input while focusing and improving their social skills. The wobble chairs provided movement for those who need to move while they learn. The art drying rack was a huge improvement. This rack allowed us to organize our project and helped students learn to keep our classroom clean while we worked. Thank you so much for helping my students and the classroom improve!”

• Express Yourself

  Funded Nov 29, 2023

  My students are so lucky and so grateful for your donation. We have been able to do so many fun educational and personal projects with these supplies. They can move, and feel more comfortable with their seating, thanks to the wobble seats. They also have been able to express themselves through art. They have come to discover a whole new talent. Many students have found a whole new way to excel in class, building their confidence and self-esteem. Thank you so much for helping my students express themselves.”

• Books are the Best

  Funded Oct 19, 2023

  These books have been such a wonderful addition to the classroom. You have allowed us to start novel studies in our class this year, and students have loved it. The book No Talking was so much fun for them all to read. It created a means of conversation, allowed us to meet content objectives, and ignited a passion for reading. Your book donation also allows us to participate in the school-wide reading competition. My class is trying their hardest to read as many of the books as they can to win. Thank you so much for providing all of these opportunities to my students!”

• Living the Plant Life

  Funded Aug 20, 2023

  You have made my class a wonderful place. Your donations have brought light, and growth to my classroom. The tower has had such an amazing impact to have plants growing each week in the classroom. The students love watching the plants grow. The garden tower gives light to both the plants and the students. My students are lucky for donors like you. I am a grateful teacher to be able to teach about plants and have them growing in the classroom. Thank you for being the amazing support that classrooms need.”

• Lets Be Techies

  Funded Aug 2, 2023

  Your generosity is outstanding. Thank you so much for helping me bring technology to the classroom. The tablets are a wonderful tool to be able to use, for both myself and the students. They help me with interventions. They help the students work in groups to research. They are also great when we want to try out new things.

  The students enjoy being able to use new tools and advance their learning. We are still working and learning all of the ways that we can use them in class. The next project we want to try is to create some stop-motion videos. Thank you for helping to advance my students' learning experience.”

• Time to Garden

  Funded Nov 30, 2022

  You have no idea how your donation has changed our classroom. You have helped to bring life into my classroom and made it possible for students to learn to grow their own food, and use science to keep the plants alive. They have developed a whole new level of responsibility while caring for them. The mats have give the class more seating options and adds colors to the classroom. Add all of this with the art supplied and you can see how much of an impact you have made on my students. You may have donated to a single classroom but you are impacting so many students on a daily basis. Thank you so much for supporting classrooms like mine.”
