  • Folding Up for Financial Literacy!

    Funded Nov 12, 2024

    Thank you for assisting me in my "Folding Up for Financial Literacy" project! The four COSCO Fold-in-Half Banquet Tables w/Handles will help the students portray their work and save space in our classroom. Words cannot express our gratitude as we needed these tables. Now we can return the bulky tables we borrowed that took up much space.”

  • Compter Needed to Complete Our Assignments!

    Funded May 4, 2022

    Thank you so much for funding my "Computer Needed to Complete Our Assignments!" project request. Many of the students I serve, do not have adequate access to technology, which is unfortunate. Thanks to your generosity, more students are now able to complete their online assignments, assessments, and most importantly, home learning that requires the use of a device. There is now a decreased digital divide at our school because of your support. My students and I are grateful beyond words as having an extra device is a lifesaver.”

    Funded Aug 19, 2024

    Thank you for donating towards my "Pantum Toner Cartridges Needed!" I am so excited for my students because now they can resume printing their work, projects, assignments, and artwork.

  • Reaming for Literacy!

    Funded Apr 6, 2023

    Thank you so much for donating to my "Reaming for Literacy!" project request. Because of your kindness and generosity, we have reams of paper for the upcoming school year also. We started laminating worksheets and other reused materials, which helped us prevent waste of the copier paper sheets. This school year, because of donors like you, I was able to print hundreds of invaluable student resources in all the core subject areas, as well as home learning practice sheets for students to use and complete at home.”

  • Laminating to Stay Healthy!

    Funded Dec 31, 2021

    Thank you so much for funding my "Laminating to stay healthy!" project request! The laminating sheets were life savers as I was able to laminate and project numerous students' materials, artwork, handouts and paper game boards. The laminated sheets were easily cleaned, which prevented waste as they were used repeatedly. Words cannot express my gratitude. I have put away the laminated materials used last year for the upcoming year. I also used the laminator to make student name tags and labels in our classroom.”

  • Leading the Way With a LED Board!

    Funded May 9, 2023

    Thank you for donating and helping fund my "Leading the Way With an LED Board!" project request! This LED board has been everywhere-from our classroom, to the media center, outdoors, and by our doorway-everytime and almost every day with a reminder, an inspirational thought, or daily classroom literacy and math concepts. The students take turns creating messages/what is written on this board, and they simply love it. There is so much that they can learn while having fun with and on this LED board and I thank you for enhancing my classroom.”

  • Uniforms Needed for Back-to-School!

    Funded Aug 31, 2023

    Thank you so much for donating to my "Uniforms Needed for Back-to-School!" project! Immediately after we received these uniforms, they were distributed to students in need. We have already ran out of uniforms and I will be creating more projects to replenish the clothes/uniform pantry. Thank you for helping me fund this project just in time to assist these students, as they would not have had school uniforms were it not for your generosity and kindness. Your support for public schools is a life-saver for the students I serve.”

In my school, there are students that I serve who have various special needs as well as multiple learning styles. Because of the learning challenges they face, we have to find ways to accommodate each child. Issues that relate to learning styles sometimes require that these students use touch screen computers as they would grasp concepts and retain knowledge longer and easier. In March of 2020, we were abruptly changed to a virtual and remote style of teaching and learning, which was a struggle in itself for everyone. Now that we will be testing virtually at the end of the school year, some of my students share the nightmare of crashing and outdated computers and not having a reliable device to test on. We are requesting one Apple iPad that has a built-in camera and microphone that can be used seamlessly for students to remotely complete assignments and take online tests.
