  • Empowering Tomorrow's Leaders: Education for All

    Funded Oct 12, 2023

    I am writing this letter with overwhelming gratitude and appreciation for your generous support through DonorsChoose. Your contribution has had a profound impact on my students and the overall learning environment in our classroom.

    The laminator you provided has been a game-changer. It has not only allowed us to preserve and showcase students' work but has also been instrumental in creating lasting anchor charts and study materials. The durability it adds to our teaching resources is invaluable, ensuring that we can refer to visual aids throughout the year.

    The printer ink you supplied has been instrumental in supporting various learning styles in my classroom. With the ability to create printed notes, I can now offer visual aids to complement my verbal instructions. This flexibility in teaching has proven to be incredibly effective in meeting the diverse needs of my students.

    The hole puncher has had a surprisingly significant impact on my students' organizational skills. By allowing them to neatly organize their materials in binders, it has fostered a sense of order and responsibility among the students. This small addition has made a big difference in their daily routines.

    The Sharpies you provided have become indispensable for both art projects and the creation of anchor charts. Students have embraced the creative aspect, and the vibrant colors have added an exciting dimension to our classroom environment.

    The teacher stamps have been a unique and wonderful addition, making students feel included and recognized for their efforts. It creates a positive atmosphere where progress is acknowledged, fostering a sense of accomplishment and motivation.

    Overall, because of your thoughtful contributions, my students are excelling. The tools you provided have not only enhanced our learning environment but have also empowered me to deliver more engaging and effective lessons.

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your commitment to education and your generosity.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Poole

  • Empowering Health, Wellness, and Safety for All

    Funded Sep 3, 2023

    During the time of this project, many of my students were out due to COVID-19 and respiratory infections. Implementing the Project with sanitizers, air fresheners, and other cleaning supplies has had a significant impact on both myself and my students, helping us stay safe and improving school attendance.

    First and foremost, the introduction of sanitizers and air fresheners played a vital role in ensuring our safety. Sanitizers helped maintain a clean and hygienic environment, reducing the risk of COVID-19 transmission within the school. Air fresheners not only created a more pleasant atmosphere but also contributed to fresher air, which is essential for good health.

    The most noticeable change has been the improvement in school attendance. With these safety measures in place, students felt more confident about coming to school. The reduced illness rates and the perception of a safe environment encouraged more regular attendance. This, in turn, has led to better educational outcomes.

    The overall learning environment has also improved significantly. The combination of sanitized facilities and pleasant air quality has created a more comfortable and conducive setting for both teaching and learning. We can all focus better when we're not worried about health risks or unpleasant odors, leading to increased engagement and improved academic performance.

    Having these safety measures in place has provided me and my students with peace of mind. Knowing that steps have been taken to mitigate health risks has reduced anxiety and allowed us to concentrate on teaching and learning without constant worry about illness.”

  • The Great Classroom Revamp

    Funded May 7, 2023

    On behalf of my class, we are writing to express our deepest gratitude for your generous contributions to our project. Your support has made a tremendous impact on my students and has enhanced their learning experience in ways I could not have imagined. We would like to share with you the incredible journey we have embarked on with the new resources you helped provide.

    The Excello Global Products Dry-Erase Mobile Whiteboard, the Flash Furniture Cotton Twill Bean Bag Chair, the Advantus Super Stacker Document Box, the Quill Brand Top-Loading Mediumweight Sheet Protectors, and the EXPO Starter Set Kit have become integral components of our classroom, transforming it into a dynamic and engaging learning environment.

    One of our most memorable moments was when we introduced the new resources to our students. The sheer joy and excitement that lit up their faces were truly priceless. The students were in awe of the bright and colorful bean bag chair, eagerly claiming their spots and immediately feeling a sense of comfort and belonging. They were thrilled to have a dedicated space where they could relax and read their favorite books or collaborate with their peers on group projects.

    Once again, we cannot thank you enough for your unwavering support and generosity. Your contribution has not only provided us with the necessary resources but has also given our students the opportunity to thrive academically and creatively. We are grateful for the positive impact you have made on the lives of our students and the future of our classroom.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Poole

  • "Voices Unheard: Exploring Identity, Justice, and the Power of Literature.”

    Funded Apr 22, 2023

    I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. On behalf of Humphreys County High School and my English II students, I wanted to express our deepest gratitude for your generous contribution to our "Voices Unheard: Exploring Identity, Justice, and the Power of Literature" project through DonorsChoose. Your support has made a significant impact on my students' educational journey, and I cannot thank you enough.

    The new texts that you have helped provide have not only enriched our classroom library but have also empowered my students to explore profound themes, discover diverse perspectives, and develop critical thinking skills. Through these books, my students have embarked on a transformative literary journey, gaining a deeper understanding of the world and their place in it. Thank you for being a champion for education and for giving my students the opportunity to be heard through the power of literature. Your generosity will continue to inspire and empower countless young minds for years to come.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Poole

COVID-19 has forced us to restructure our lives. With this type of restructuring, we had to change the way we learn and interact with each other. Many students attend school virtually, while others receive face to face instructions. Making it difficult for social and emotional interaction. However, with the right resources, we can do virtually anything. As a student, literacy is a critical component of the developmental process. Therefore, the use of the document camera, surge protector, masks, and sanitizer will support and enhance virtual learning. Eliminating deficits caused by the recent pandemic. As mentioned above, these resources will be a great asset to my classroom learning environment. Enhancing my instruction and engaging students. The document camera will be a very beneficial resource because it allows the teacher to project printed text digitally. Through this process, the students will learn how to read, write, and annotate passages. Because the students spend countless hours virtually, the surge protector (power strip) will allow students to continue to work while charging their devices. Keeping them worry-free and prepared for class! Safety is always a priority, so masks and hand sanitizer will help prevent the spread of the virus. In closing, virtual learning is a new experience for everyone. The transition has not been easy, but with the use of these resources, we can do virtually anything. My students have demonstrated great interest in reading and writing. As their instructor, I want to continue to provide them with an educational experience worth consuming. An experience that will lead them to be productive individuals beyond high school! Thank you
