Awesome Rewards for Awesome Behavior and Effort
Funded Feb 9, 2023The students and I would like to say thank you for your wonderful donations to our rewards station. We have a great variety of snacks and games to pick from when the students earn their rewards.
When the packages first arrived the students were so excited. They could not wait to see what was inside. Once we opened the packages the kids were already planning how they would earn specific rewards. They have never had so many choices before.
These donations are really special to some hard working students. The various reward options have really encouraged positive behavior from some of my more challenging students. We are hopeful that with the use of the rewards it would encourage positive behavior choices that will become routine. Without your support we would have never been able to support our students in this way. Thank you so much for your kindness.”

Encouragement and Rewards for Everyone
Funded Sep 7, 2022The students and I were so excited when we started getting the amazon packages. The kids could hardly contain themselves. They have been so excited to have a chance to spin the prize wheel to see what prize they will get for all their effort and hard work they have completed! They could not believe that someone would be so nice and send all these prizes to our classroom.
I have one student that has not spoken more than two words to me since we started school this year. By using some of the manipulatives that we received, the student identified 5 different colors and answered some yes/no questions. I have a couple of students that have challenging behaviors and they have been working so hard because they want to have a chance to use that electric drill that can in our building kit. They absolutely love it!
Thank you again for thinking of our classroom when you so generously donated gifts. We all love all the treats, playdough, blocks, building kit, and stickers that you sent.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Valhalla Foundation.Tactical Supplies for Special Kids
Funded May 14, 2021I can not tell you how much my students and myself appreciate your generous donation of tactical supplies. These materials provide an opportunity for my students to complete their work by using alternate methods. They really look forward to using the supplies and have become more independent. They could not believe that someone would buy materials for our classroom. Their faces were so surprised when they opened the boxes. Their behaviors have even improved with the use of these materials. Again, thank you so much for your generous donation.”

Hands On Writing
Funded May 4, 2021Thank you so much for all of the materials that you donated to our writing class. The students were so excited and eager to use the new materials. They look forward to writing now and can not wait to get these materials out for us to use. Their printing has improved thanks to your generous donation. They no longer moan and groan when asked to practice their penmanship. They look forward to practice now. Without these materials writing was a dreaded subject by all. Thanks again from Mrs. Martin and students.”
