  • Flexible Seating for All

    Funded Sep 19, 2022

    I would like to start by expressing how important donations like yours are to teachers and students, especially those working within very tight budget constraints, or rather no budget. Teacher supply funding is limited. I glad that you understand that social-emotional health is essential in the class. You are helping support the focus in so many students.

    These supplies have been the center of my classroom room every day since they arrived. It has helped the students to be able to focus more and have the opportunity to seat in different types of sitting throughout the day.

    My students love the setting and are grateful that you have given them the tools to focus in class. I can see the progress made because of your kind donations and assure you that you have done something truly good. Something small can turn out to make a huge difference for kids. At the moment it may have seemed like a small donation, but these experiences are bigger than special seating. My students are recognizing that they are able to focus more.."”

  • Artists Loading...

    Funded Aug 25, 2022

    I would like to start by expressing how important donations like yours are to teachers and students, especially those working within very tight budget constraints, or rather no budget. Arts funding is continually cut, although the importance of arts programs in public education is undeniable. You are helping fill the gap of what our schools no longer provide.

    These supplies have been the center of my classroom room every day since they arrived. We have made collages, drawings, paintings, portraits, landscapes, architectural drawings, artist books, etc. We have learned about important artists, poetry, social issues, and history, connecting the content using these materials. We have shown our work in our hallways and in our community.

    My students love to make art and you have given them the tools to do so. I can see the progress made because of your kind donations and assure you that you have done something truly good. Something small can turn out to make a huge difference for kids. At the moment it may have seemed like a small donation, but these experiences are bigger than markers and colored pencils. My students are recognizing their talents and discovering the beauty in studying art."”
