  • Snack Harder, Work Smarter!

    Funded Aug 19, 2024

    Thank you so much for being able to help.My students get a snack to help them work harder. This has positively impacted them, as many students were not getting to eat breakfast prior to coming to school and I don't know, they were able to get a snack from me and work harder as they were trying to learn. They also competed against each other to try to answer the most questions to get first choice of snacks, and I saw growth.

    The students wanted to work at the thought of getting a snack. I saw students who had never really attempted to work before actually trying at the thought of getting a treat.

    Thank you again so much.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Bowman

  • Snacks for Facts

    Funded Oct 23, 2023

    The students were extremely happy to hear that the project was funded so they could earn snacks for facts. They have enjoyed participating more and trying questions even if they get it wrong, as they know that they can still have a chance to earn a snack for participation. This has greatly increased the participation of some students who otherwise normally would not participate at all in class.

    Recently, the students practiced their writing skills and wrote holiday cards for someone special in their life and then another one to go bring joy to a stranger. The students were able to enjoy a snack while completing the project. The have really enjoyed themselves. Sometimes they are beginning to speak up and participate more now without even knowing if they would get a snack or not. Their self-confidence is increasing!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Bowman

  • Flex Items to Help Get the Weebly Wobbles Out

    Funded Jan 8, 2023

    Thank you so much for the assistance in getting these items for the classroom. They have benefited my students greatly. No longer do some of my students need to try and stack books to lean a notebook at an angle for writing. They are able to use the angle board and help them with their ability to write.

    My students absolutely love the flex cushions for the feet. They take advantage of the fact that they are able to stand and balance back and forth getting some excess energy out or even do it while seated.

    The band for desks was so popular that multiple students wanted to be able to use it at the same time! I will definitely have to look into more in the future. Thank you again for the generous nature you have shown my students.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Bowman
