Funded Aug 14, 2024This is incredible! The days were ticking down and I began to doubt if this proposal would receive enough support to earn full-funding. Silly me.

This classroom project was brought to life by General Motors & Young Sheldon on CBS and 6 other donors.This Seat Is Just Right !
Funded May 3, 2022It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward This Seat Is Just Right! With the books that were donated we have been able to broaden our horizons through literature, and hold discussions on how the books reflect cultural tolerance. It has been a positive influence that they have access to everyday and the students are building and developing a respect and understanding of their cultures.
Having access to multicultural literature has empowered my students to have positive attitudes towards diversity and tolerance, and that it is okay for others to be different from what they are used to! That is priceless in the world we live in today. They will one day be respectful and character minded citizens of this world, that have sensitivity and tolerance for all people.
Again, thank you for your donation. My students faces lit up when books arrived and the seats that they are able to use.They beg me everyday to switch out their books and use the new seats. This is also gaining their love for reading. We thank you that our students have an abundance in school, even though that may not be the case elsewhere."”

Math in Our Hands !
Funded Jan 23, 2022It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give towards listening and learning with math in our classroom. With the learning aids and classroom supplies that were donated, we have been able to tap into further learning with the use of smaller groups to focus on differentiation amongst our students. We have also been able to utilize the Internet to participate in research projects and web based math and reading lessons with the use along with our laptops. This allows for more availability of the technology and the ability to concentrate on their personal learning, which can be limited when you have a large class.
Again, thank you for your donation. Our children's faces light up when the math manipulatives are pulled out. They love the fact that they can have access to fun learning, and not be ashamed of where their own learning currently stands. We thank you that our students have abundance in school, even though that may not be the case elsewhere." Once again ,thank you for your kind and generous donations! We are very appreciative!!"”

Helping Kids Facing Hungry This School Year
Funded Dec 15, 2021"I truly don't know how to begin to express my gratitude for the donations to our classroom. Our students eat snacks 1 time a day. All of our students have healthy appetites. These snack items help diminish significant triggers that can interfere with the learning environment. We have relied solely on donations from parents and it is simply not enough. This donation will help our classroom sail through the end of the year with ease and help us remain focused on our academic progress."
Thank you to all of the donors who have supported this project! I can never thank all of you enough for all of your support and your generosity. Without you I could never do what I do! These children don't always have food to eat before or after school. With your donations my students are able to have snacks in school and take food home if they need. Thank you so much for what you do !
Thank you for your help and support! Your kindness helps me to pay it forward and that is amazing ! So again thank you so very much!!"”

Funded Aug 26, 2021I want to start by saying THANK YOU ! Without your continued supporting classrooms all over the country would be left in a constant state of wanting/needing to be equal to others. Your generous donations helped my students to achieve things they wouldn't be able to otherwise.
The project that was funded for my classroom, has really enhanced the learning. It makes for group/partner research so much easier. Also for my students independent reading. They always get so excited to be able to have the flexible seating chair.
Once again thank you so much for your support! My students truly love the seat! I work in an ICT setting and every child has different needs, the seat keep everyone on task and focused. All of my students that need sensory situation during the lessons, are so much more focused when they get a chance to sit on this seat. The students are also showing independence, empathy, and consideration towards others. They know when they can get up and sit on the chair, they know they need a purpose not just because it is fun. They also ask other students to share if they want a turn with the chair. Thank you again!”
