  Funded Jan 16, 2024

  I am excited to share with you the incredible impact your generous support through the Donors Choose project has had on our classroom. Your contributions have not only provided essential materials but have also sparked a remarkable transformation in our students' behavior and engagement.

  Since introducing the mystery bags program, we have observed a significant improvement in the behavior and attitudes of our students.

  Here are some of the positive changes we've seen:

  Increased Engagement:

  Active Participation: Students are eagerly participating in classwork.

  Focused Attention: The mystery bags have captured their interest, resulting in more focused and attentive behavior during school classes.

  I am immensely grateful for your generosity and the lasting impact it has made on our learning community.

  With warm regards,”

• Prize Box Fillers

  Funded Dec 27, 2022

  Wow, your generosity has been greatly appreciated. My students are working extremely hard to collect Bear Bucks and Collins Cash every day.

  Each day, they get Bear Bucks or Collins Cash for a multitude of things. They get them for showing up, having their belongings, turning in homework, participating in class discussion, scoring well on their daily math problems. The list is endless.

  Then they turn them in every day for a drawing at the end of class where I pick 2 names from a bucket and those winners get their choice from the prize box.

  Thanks again for allowing me to incentivize their learning.”

• Volleyball Necessities

  Funded Sep 24, 2021

  Our volleyball players had an amazing season. They worked with each other to do many challenging tasks that they never knew they could. Many of the girls are playing with other teams now that they have learned the fundamentals. Highschool volleyball is joining heavily with recruiting.

  The girls loved the new balls and kneepads. Thanks for helping us create a wonderful experience for them. We are continuing to work with these girls on volleyball and also other sports as well. Many of the ladies are playing basketball and also doing wrestling.”

• Classroom Prize Box Fillers

  Funded Jul 9, 2021

  Thank you so much for your generosity. These items brought such joy to the students of Bryan Middle School. They worked hard in the classroom and throughout the school to earn dojo dollars/bear bucks by Being Safe, Being Responsible, Being Respectful, and Being Their Best.

  Upon receiving enough Bear Bucks, they were able to spend their hard earned cash on items from the prize box. This taught them that hard work does pay off and also that they don't have to spend all their cash at one time in order to save and get better items.

  Thanks again for all you did to assist our students.”
