• Language and STEM Extended Learning

  Funded Jan 15, 2025

  I am so grateful for your generosity in providing snacks and water for our classroom! These essential resources have had a profound impact on my students' well-being and focus. It's amazing to see how something as simple as a snack or a bottle of water can make such a difference in creating an environment where students feel cared for and ready to learn.

  When the snacks and water were first introduced, my students' reactions were priceless. Many of them expressed heartfelt gratitude, and a few even shared how much it helped them concentrate during lessons. One student mentioned that having a snack during our small group work made it easier for them to stay engaged and participate fully. Moments like these remind me of the power of your kindness.

  Thanks to your support, we've created a space where students can focus on learning without the distraction of hunger or thirst. As we move forward, I look forward to seeing their continued growth and success, knowing they have what they need to thrive. Thank you for making this possible.”

• Empathy in Action: Igniting Compassion Through the Kindness Challenge

  Funded Jul 28, 2024

  I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation towards the "Igniting Compassion Through the Kindness Challenge." Your support has truly made a profound impact on my students and their journey toward greater empathy and kindness.

  Thanks to your contribution, we were able to provide each student with gratitude journals, allowing them to reflect on and document their experiences of compassion. This practice has not only helped them recognize and appreciate the kindness they encounter daily but has also encouraged them to engage more deeply in acts of kindness themselves.

  Additionally, the cameras you funded have enabled our students to document their compassionate acts. Through this process, they have become more aware of the positive effects of their actions and have developed a deeper sense of responsibility toward their community. The visual evidence of their efforts has been both inspiring and educational, reinforcing the values of empathy and kindness in a meaningful way.

  Once again, thank you for your invaluable support. Your generosity has played a crucial role in fostering a more compassionate and thoughtful environment for our students.”
