  • Building a Caring, Creative Community!

    Funded Sep 11, 2023

    Thank you so much for providing our class with so many great toys for our developmental play time. All of these toys give my Kindergarten class the opportunities to use their imagination and work on their social skills through play.

    The students were so excited and thrilled every time a new box of your donations was dropped off at our classroom. They have been very creative with the Magna tiles, lego and play-doh tools.

    They look forward to play time everyday, especially so they can get their hands on the new toys. As their teacher, I have seen great relationships grow between my students and my class has become a nice little community which was one of the main goals of this project.

    On behalf of my entire classroom, thank you once again for your generous donation.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. DeFriend

  • Good, Clean Fun!

    Funded Jun 14, 2021

    Thank you so much for donating to my classroom. The two air purifiers are working perfectly every day with students breathing safe air. I'm so grateful that you would be willing to partner with my students and I in this way.

    The moment my students saw the purifiers as they walked in, there was excitement in the air and a buzz among the children. When I told them that these gifts were donated by Panda Express, the were amazed that such a large company would be willing to help them in their daily needs. We all enjoy eating at Panda Express and I'm sure my classroom has given you more business after realizing your generosity.

    I am currently working with my students to help them catch up on lost time in the classroom due to the pandemic. They are working tirelessly to achieve their reading and math goals that we set for them at the beginning of the school year. I am confident that with hard work (and clean air that helps them stay healthy) they will be able to achieve these goals!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. DeFriend

As our school reopens in the next couple of weeks for in-person instruction I am very concerned about proper ventilation and air quality in my classroom due to COVID-19. The windows in my classroom do not open. Half of my class will be with me in the classroom in the morning and the other half will be distance learning in the afternoon. Kids and parents are still uneasy about their safety during this pandemic so I am requesting two Air Purifiers for my classroom which is extremely important in making the students feel more comfortable, healthy and safe. Making the classroom safer and allowing the students to focus on learning is my goal with this project. Please help me provide a safe learning enviroment for my second grade students.
