  • Backpacks Galore

    Funded May 20, 2023

    I would like to update you on how resourceful the backpack storage cart has been in our classroom. My students and I were overjoyed when it was delivered. Our Assistant Principal helped us assemble it and we immediately put the cart to use. Now, my students have a designated space for their belongings. The cart is being used every morning and afternoon. It also helps me create a safe, open learning environment where students can actively move as they engage in lessons.

    This wouldn't have been possible without your support. Thank you for believing in the project "Backpacks Galore."”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Torres

  • I Hear You, I See You

    Funded Jun 15, 2023

    I am writing this message to update you on how impactful your donations have been in our classroom. We received the JBL Bluetooth Speaker mid August. Upon arrival, it was immediately paired with the Qball, a throwable wireless microphone system. Both the Qball and JBL speaker are used for circle time, read alouds, and oral presentations.

    Since using this form of technology, I have noticed an increase in student engagement, self-confidence, and improvement in student communication skills. Students enjoy listening to their thoughts being amplified. The most exciting aspect of the mic/speaker technology combo is when the mic is tossed to a student for their participation in a lesson. Students enjoy catching the Qball and hearing themselves share their ideas.

    This love for learning wouldn't have been possible without your help. Thank you so much for believing in the project "I Hear You, I See You."”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Torres
