  • Together We Can Do Great Things!

    Funded Dec 7, 2022

    Thank you so much for donating towards our "Together We Can Do Great Things!" project. When I first shared the good news about the donations, the students were overjoyed by the generosity of others. The kindness was inspiring to them and they couldn't wait to use the games/puzzles, earn stickers and even create their own 3rd grade tie-dye shirts!

    The third graders at our school are all benefitting from the donations. The students had so much fun when we had our special "tie-dye day" where everyone got to create their own tie-dye shirt. Having matching shirts to wear on field trips and on spirit days allows each student to feel like an important member of the school community. The waterproof stickers have become a highly desirable incentive for rewarding students for their hard-work and making good choices.

    Thank you so much for your contribution! It is greatly appreciated!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Smith

  • Creative Minds Build Our Future!

    Funded Nov 28, 2022

    Thank you so much for donating towards our "Creative Minds Build Our Future!" project. When I first shared the good news about the donations last winter, the students were surprised by the generosity of strangers. The kindness was inspiring to them and they couldn't wait to use the Brain Blox, games, and headphones!

    The third graders at our school are all benefitting from the donations. In fact, we started a weekly STEM "soft start" morning where students get to experiment & use their creativity to work together to solve a building challenge using Brain Blocks. It has been amazing to witness the development of their social-skills, teamwork, resilience and ingenuity over time. It is truly a treat to see them celebrate the projects they have created together with pride!

    Thank you for your contribution! It is greatly appreciated!”

  • Let the Kids Play!

    Funded Dec 28, 2021

    Thank you so much for donating towards our "Let the Kids Play!" project. When I first shared the good news about the donations, the students cheered loudly and were in disbelief of the generosity of strangers. The kindness was inspiring!

    The sports equipment has been used daily by our 3rd grade classes during PE time and outdoor recess and is truly the gift that keeps on giving. I have had the opportunity to witness children playing with jump ropes for the first time and seeing their prideful expressions when they finally figure out how to do it! Every single one of them calls out, "Look at me, I got it!" The playground and soccer balls allow kids to learn skills necessary to practice teamwork and good sportsmanship. I believe this valuable play time has helped these students get along better with each other, make & maintain friendships, and just be happier at school.

    Thank you for your contribution! It is greatly appreciated!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Smith

When we returned to in-person learning full-time this school year, we started realizing the impact that the pandemic has had on our elementary students. Many of these students had not been in school for over a year and a half and a lot has changed in their lives. We noticed right away that many of our students had forgotten how to PLAY and have fun together. So simple, yet so important! The 3rd grade team has been working hard to target these areas during our daily physical education time. We teach the importance of good sportsmanship, teamwork, rules of playground games, soccer drills & games, physical fitness, etc. Our PE time gives our 3rd graders something to look forward to every day! Unfortunately, our resources are very limited and we do not have enough Covid-19 friendly PE equipment to teach our students effectively. We truly appreciate your support!
