Funded Sep 17, 2023Now that the new year is almost upon us, I wanted to genuinely reflect and thank you for your HUGE gift this past school year! You made a HUGE difference! If only you could have seen my surprise and utter joy when I saw that our list was funded—and that it was one donor who purchased everything on our list! You are honestly such a blessing!
My students had *so* much fun learning with their play popsicle letters, acorn soup, flower fine-motor creative toys, fidget cubes, felt board, and ice cream counting toys. They also learned so much from the dinosaur matching letter toys, and, one student who we had for two school years learned many letters with the robotic transformer letters! Things finally clicked when he played with those—those were his favorite, as was the case for so many others! The command strips and mesh zipper pouches, attendance chart, fidget toys, pencil grippers, and doorbell were instrumental in instruction and/or learning as well.
These students come from low-income families with other "at-risk" needs as well. These items would be impactful for anyone, but they especially were for students who could use an extra smile in life. The items will live on to serve other students in the same program.
From the bottom of the heart...thank you. We are always wishing you well, and the very, very best.”

With Distance Learning Equipment...We Can Go The Distance!
Funded Nov 20, 2020I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity. My stand-up desk and webcam have helped my students and I tremendously this school year!
Being able to sit down/stand up and show students materials behind me at the different levels has been extremely beneficial. It is also much nicer for my students to see me in crystal-clear view with the webcam. Many of my preschool students are bilingual and just learning English, so seeing how I pronounce words is vital.
Part of this school year has been completely virtual, but we recently went (half way—hybrid) back in-person. Every morning, we have a morning meeting with the other half of the class that is at home that day for COVID reasons. I still use the webcam so that those students can see their teachers and other students clearly. The stand-up desk I still use every Monday, as Monday is online-only for us this school year.
With your contributions, I feel more appreciated and "seen" as an educator. We work really hard, and these tools have made the year easier.
I really do wish you the best, and thank you for extending such kind hearts my way!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Lillie
