Normalizing Menstrual Needs!
Funded Jun 1, 2023With the wonderful success of this project, we were able to put several dozen menstrual pouches together to have readily available to hand out in the nurse's office to young ladies in need. We were able to put together enough pouches that each fourth-grade girl will be given one when given "the talk" this school year to learn about their body's development and still have enough extras on hand to stock the nurse's office for anyone who goes down in need of menstrual supplies.
Each waterproof pouch is equipped with 4 sanitary napkins and a color print out with directions on using and disposing of the pad appropriately. There was also a link leading to a demonstration of how to use a pad appropriately and other resources for families to explore together at home.
I share a sincere thank you to the donors of this project! Thank you for supporting the health and development of our young ladies that attend Apollo-Ridge Elementary School. I hope to possibly expand this project in the future to include the middle school and high school nurse's office as well.”

Taking a Stand for Learning
Funded Aug 16, 2022My students were so excited once the desks were built, that I was actually worried about behaviors and students fussing over taking turns using them. I was blown away at how the standing desks actually changed the atmosphere in my room for the better! Students respect the space as an independent working space or as a small group work together space. Some have even made a point of suggesting to other students that they use the standing desks when they notice someone is getting antsy. They are used all day long! Whether it is in small group math class, recess, or if the kids want to help water down our classroom plants! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”

Let's Make It a Hands on Learning Kind of Day!
Funded Nov 16, 2021I just want to start with a quick, but sincere thank you!! So far my 4th and 5th grade students have had the opportunity to use the Operations and Algebraic Thinking Folder Games many times and absolutely LOVE THEM! We also, just started our measurement units for both grades and had the opportunity to do several hands on activities with the Gallon Measurement Set we received in our order. They are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to play the two Grab and Match games as well. Once we get a little further into our Measurement and Data Units we will make them into a center station. I wish you could hear the (very loud) thank you my students yelled out loud to our generous donors!”
