    Funded Feb 26, 2024

    I so much appreciate your care, kindness, love, and generosity.

    It means a lot to me and our students. It also confirms that our world has many good people who are always ready to step up and help. My project got funded in less than two days! This is the FASTEST as it can be!

    Life can be hard but life is good!

    Thank you so much for your support!”

  • Stay Healthy and Be Organized!

    Funded Sep 15, 2021

    Thank you all for your help! My students are very happy to use these brand-new seat pockets! And thanks to you, they can easily organize their learning materials while following our social distancing rules. These chair pockets also help them to learn how to be independent learners which is an important skill that should bring all the way to college. Thank you so much for your help! My students will stay healthy and be successful learners because of the difference you've made!

    Thanks to you all, and happy holidays!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. McGowan

    This classroom project was brought to life by The Allstate Foundation and 5 other donors.
Our classroom has old tables that do not have any storage space underneath the tabletop. These seat pockets will go on student chairs and will allow my kindergarteners to rely on personal school supplies rather than communal ones. They will also help to ensure that we follow the social distance guidelines in my classroom. The students will have their literacy and math textbooks as well as school supplies easily available. The donations to this project will help my five-year-old kindergarteners stay healthy and be organized during COVID-19 pandemic time. Using these seat pockets will allow us to avoid using communal storage spaces for our math and literacy curricula textbooks and workbooks. They will help my kindergarteners stay healthy, learn how to be independent and organized. They will also allow us not to waste our instructional time taking turns to get the needed lesson materials and have social distance.
