    Thank you so much for valuing education as much as I do. Reading is so fundamental for my young learners and with this project you’ve brought more books into the hands of these young readers.

  • Read Here, There, and Everywhere!

    Funded Mar 30, 2023

    Reading had been a key for growth this school year. We've read with friends, colleagues, office personnel, custodians, and so many more. We've read picture books, juvenile books, cartoons, newspapers, etc. We've read in the library, gym, playground, office, hallways, and classrooms. All of this reading has been in part because of books and supplies received from this project.

    My students were especially grateful for the many books that were on varying reading levels. With all of the variety, there was never a time when they weren't able to find the book that was exactly right for them. I know that these books will continue to be enjoyed for many years to come!”

  • "Glowing" and Growing With Excellence

    Funded Aug 3, 2023

    I can't thank you enough for the support gained through this project. My students are always so excited when new items arrive in the classroom and this time was no different. Having the means to incentivize students is so essential in education , especially for my young scholars. Your support has continued to bring classroom dreams into a reality.

    My young scholars have grown so much this year with over 50% of them reaching goals that we set for them in August. I know this success is largely in part with the support they continue to receive from the community around them.”

  • Reading Intervention Rocks!

    Funded Apr 17, 2023

    Reading is such a crucial skill for young learners like mine. At an early age, they are working hard to develop skills that will carry them successfully through life. Without reading, we know that many will not be able to reach their full potential. For those reasons, I have a strong focus on reading in my classroom and seek to provide intervention at an early age. Through your donations, we were able to place new books into the hands of our scholars and engage them in reading practice.

    The students loved having access to all of the new books. They especially like the ones with real-life pictures and examples. I know that all of these books will be enjoyed for many more years to come as well.”

  • Honoring Excellence

    Funded May 12, 2023

    I can't thank you enough for the support you gave my classroom during the past school year. Thanks to your donations we were able to have an amazing end of the year awards program. Students received a variety of awards to honor them for all of their hard work this school year. End of the year test results saw an incredible increase from the beginning of the year results. We think these results were a combination of increased rigor mixed with incentives in place and outlined for our young scholars. The excitement of students' faces could be seen from miles away. Thank you so much for making this possible!”

  • Intervention Makes Reading Skyrocket!

    Funded Jul 7, 2023

    Thank you so much for supporting my scholars for this upcoming school year. I can’t wait to see the strides they make with both their reading and math learning this year. I know that these supplies will be just what they need to see the growth that helps them to skyrocket in their learning!”

  • Paint and More with Mom!

    Funded Apr 29, 2023

    Paint and nibble with mom was such a huge success. We had at least one mom for every 3-4 students that came to the school to participate. They loved working alongside their children as they created works of art. Next time we will create a project with enough canvases for the child and the mom to each have their own. However, for our first event everyone really seemed to enjoy themselves and teachers had the opportunity to interact with children and their families. This is a project that we will definitely do again— even bigger and better!”

  • Reading our Way to 1st Grade!

    Funded Jan 17, 2023

    Reading skills are really taking off in our classroom thanks to the supplies you helped to provide through this project. The students love to use the hands-on materials to make learning fun and engaging. This week and last we have been taking some of our end of the year assessments and can really see how hard we've been working. Growth in students has been even more than I could have begun to imagine. At the same time, they are still excited about learning which makes me heart so happy. I know that together we are creating a bright future! Thank you for your support.”

  • Numbers Take Off in 2023!

    Funded Jan 5, 2023

    Learning basic math skills fill up the majority of our afternoon in kindergarten. Identifying numbers, counting, addition, subtraction - we take the time to learn all these skills during our year together. It really helps when my children have the manipulatives to make this learning hands- on and interactive. For that reason, they were so excited to see items like the number locks and addition click and learn math tools walk in the door. They have even come to really love the math dominoes and the many games they can play with them. Thank you so much for supplying these learning tools!”

We have been virtual learning since the beginning of the school year with very little supplies at home. As we approach the spring semester, we hoped to return to school; however, many students are choosing to remain home due to COVID-19. Dry erase boards will help them to develop their writing skills. At the same time, all the letter tiles and pieces will give them the ability to build words and even sentences. During this spring semester, we want to ensure all students have the supplies they need. With your help, let's see my kindergarten students soar!
