    Funded Oct 14, 2024

    I was so excited and happy to see that my project was fully funded today. Thank you very much, I appreciate all of you and the kids are going to be so excited to use these new activities! We are so very lucky to have such generous people helping our classrooms!”

  • Daily Supplies for Centers and Crafts

    Funded Apr 2, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. The kids were so excited to get their new crayons, markers and play doh! We go through a lot of these in kindergarten, so we were very appreciative for the restock of these materials. Having these materials allows the kids to complete their daily work. The play doh also helps them build their fine motor skills and helps with their creativity.

    We are so thankful to have donors like you to help when we really need it, the word is a better place because of you!

    Thanks again!!”

  • Flexible Seating & Cozy Reading Areas

    Funded Sep 11, 2023

    Thank you so very much for donating to our project. We were able to get some rugs, couches and lighting to make some cozy spaces for our room. We use these areas daily for our centers and the kids love to get comfortable when doing their reading and group work.

    The kids were so excited when the order came! They couldn't wait for their turn to visit the new center areas. These things can be very pricey and they wouldn't have the opportunity without you! All of the other staff members always comment how cozy and inviting our room is. We are thrilled with our room and we are so thankful for you!”

  • Starting Kindergarten is Fun!!

    Funded Aug 2, 2023

    Thank you so much for the supplies to get our year off to a great start! From the name tags to the crayons to the birthday crowns, the students have loved everything! We are using the supplies every day and they help in our daily lessons and activities.

    The kids have loved everything, but their favorite is the play doh! Learning and practicing fine motor skills is so important in kindergarten and we have been loving creating with the play doh! I especially love the new bins to keep all of our center supplies organized.

    The kids and I were so excited to get all of these materials for our classroom and we can't thank you enough! Your generosity is so appreciated, thank you for supporting our kindergarten classroom!”

  • Kindergarten Necessities and Crafts

    Funded Sep 16, 2022

    We can't thank you enough for your generous donations. We were so excited to get funded and were even more excited once our materials were delivered! After using traditional crayons for years in kindergarten, we decided to give Crayola Twistables a try. Regular crayons break so easily are wear down quickly. However, you twist up the Twistable crayon when it runs out and the kids have loved using them. We are 76 days into the school year and they are still growing strong. These are more expensive than traditional crayons, so we were so lucky to get them through your donation.

    The project also included many items for us to use during our regular day and for projects. We have been using all of the things as the days go on and it is so nice to have these materials ready to go. As a kindergarten teacher, I use so many things outside of the district curriculum and it is so nice to have them ready to go without shopping weekly. For that and for your generosity, I thank you. The whole class and I are so appreciative.”

  • Classroom Supplies for Learning, Projects and More!

    Funded Dec 1, 2021

    We can't thank you enough for your generous contributions. You provided us with some basic supplies that we are able to use every single day as well as some fun extras to make our projects more fun! The kids love to get new crayons that are sharp, so they we super excited to get their supply boxes refilled with brand new crayons! They also love writing on white boards, so the new supplies were awesome! They were also happy to get new name tags and they loved the smelly stickers that they got on their papers! The kids love to do projects, so they were especially happy to have wiggle eyes, paint and scrapbook paper do make reindeer, ornaments and snowmen over the winter months.”

  • Online Guided Reading

    Funded Nov 23, 2020

    Technology has never been as important in first grade as it has been this year. We have depended on technology to connect daily with our students as well as to provide instruction for them. This instruction has included math, language arts, social studies, science and some fun things to keep them engaged.

    With the donation, I was able to purchase many new things for the kids. They loved all of the new reading books, but they especially loved the new learning games and scavenger hunts. Being six years old and learning online can be difficult, however, adding a little bit of learning fun makes it a lot easier.

    I feel as if all of my students have adapted well and are super excited when I introduce a new thing to them on the computer. Sparking their interest is fun and exciting to watch! We really appreciated getting all of the new this!!”

  • Individual Learning Supplies

    Funded Sep 16, 2020

    Thank you so very much for the very generous donations to our class. We are currently doing virtual learning, so we were able to purchase white boards, markers, erasers and pencils to use daily. Most kids do not have all of the materials that we need at home, so this has been such a huge help in our curriculum!

    The white boards have lines on them, so it has helped such a great deal in our curriculum. I have been able to do a lot of writing with the kids and we have been able to focus on letter formation which is a huge deal in first grade. They have had a lot of fun writing and creating with their new white boards and look forward to getting them out every day!

    I was also able to purchase tens frames for math and bins to put all of their materials in. We will be coming back to school on January 25th, so they will be used at that point. With all that is going on, I am so excited that they will each have their own bin of materials so that they will not have to touch things that belong to others.

    Thank you again, I appreciate it more than you know!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Martz

We may have virtual learning this year, we may have in person and we may have a combination of both. In any of these circumstances, my first graders would greatly benefit from this bag of supplies. It will contain white boards, markers and erasers for reading and writing activities, tens frames and counters for math activities and journals for writing. In the past, we shared these items in the classroom. Due to strict cleaning this year, sharing will be much more difficult, if not impossible. Learning will be so much more effective if each of my students have their own bag of these supplies, wether it be in the classroom or at home. Thank you so very much!
