  • Print in Colors for Kinders, Please!

    Funded Apr 7, 2022

    Thank you so much for your very generous gift of a color printer! Since we have received the printer, we have been able to print out colored leveled books to read at home. I have also been able to print learning material packets such as handwriting sheets, 100 charts, and sight words. Your generous gift is something that is enjoyed by my students every single day and it has such a great impact on their learning and future. I believe so strongly in instilling a love of reading and math and learning at an early age and fostering that love and growth could never be possible without the support of donors like you. Since they received news that the proposal was funded, my students are constantly asking me about you and truly think of you as their friend. On behalf of my 24 scholars and of the hundreds of students that have yet to benefit from your generous donation, thank you!!!!!”

  • Supplies for Kinders at Home!

    Funded Mar 3, 2021

    Thank you so much for donating school supplies such as dry erase boards, markers and ten frames for my students during distance learning and Covid-19. My students were elated to receive these care packages with basic learning resources. It gave them joy and a sense of stability during this uncertain time. Parents and students texted and called me as soon as they received their mail surprises and they were so happy. Thanks to your generous support, my students now have supplies to help them continue their academic growth while they are away from school. Thank you for providing joy during this time!”

  • SEL Tools for Kinders, Please!

    Funded Feb 18, 2021

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much for your generosity and willingness to support me in providing my students materials that will decrease anxiety and stress for my students, but you will also be helping my students increase student academic achievement. I am overjoyed that this project has been FULLY FUNDED in such a short amount of time and I could not have done it without each and every one of you! Thank you for empowering my mission to make my students feel special. My students and their families have been feeling the impact of COVID-19, as many have; so giving my students the chance to learn how to cope with their feelings. My kiddos are going to be so happy to receive these SEL tools you made possible for them. I cannot thank you enough for your kind hearts and donations.”

  • We Want (Mo) Willems!

    Funded Oct 23, 2020

    Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!! My students are obsessed with Mo Willems and when I opened the brand new books and showed them, there were audible gasps in my room! Elephant and Piggie books are fun and easy to read in kindergarten. The children love to read them over and over again! With the delightful happy-endings and the amazing friendship and love that Mo Willems creates between his characters, the students not only develop a passion for reading but also a desire to be like the characters. Mo Willems is helping create Mo imagination and creativity in young children. With your donation, my students will continue this love of reading and they are delighted with the treasures you have provided. Thanks for being a hero in my classroom!”

Do you remember what it was like when you finally grasped a concept that was hard for you? The joy you felt and how proud you were. My students need help learning to read! My students need a collection of Elephant and Piggie books to keep my students engaged in reading all day long. Unfortunately, my classroom library does not meet the needs of my very excited bookworms. I can often be found at the public library three or four nights a week, checking out extra books for my students. At my elementary school, my students are reading for at least 20 minutes per day. During that time, they have a change to read their favorite books independently. The chance to read their favorite books with their favorite character would be an amazing expedience. I want to encourage them to build their reading stamina and stay focused on their books. My students have come to love Piggie and Elephants books, and the Mo Willems book are easy to read and act out. My students have fallen in love with reading and that is largely due to their obsession with the characters from Mo Willems books. In the end I want reading to be fun! Your donation will help to foster a love of learning and reading. With your help, I can provide my students with the opportunity to curl up with a good book and read their hearts out!
