  • You Get a Snack and You Get a Snack

    Funded May 10, 2023

    I thank you for your time in finding our class project and for being beyond generous in donating to our cause. My kids faces were beyond surprised and excited when they were informed of the kind people like you who donated so they could have snacks. They absolutely felt loved, lucky, blessed, encouraged and lastly excited to brag about it to other friends. Thankfully we had some to share with a few students from other classrooms. A little went a long way. I thank you for the impacted you proved for my kids. I always tell them you never know when you next blessing is coming and who it may be coming from. Thank you for being that evidence to them! Many of my kids come from struggling families and were extremely excited to share with their families the good snacks they received. From the bottom of 50+ kids and form the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, thank you!”

  • First Gen. Spanish Teacher Promoting The Motto "SI SE PUEDE"

    Funded Nov 4, 2021

    I can't begin to thank you for your amazing support! My students are always welcome to an amazing colorful room! They love the posters, the oversized maps, as well as the pronoun chart! The mini staplers are a huge hit! My incoming English Language Learning students love all the positive words displayed on the colorful posters. They feel acknowledge and seen because their favorite classroom reinforces a little piece of their culture and language. My special education students truly and deeply enjoy the stress ball toys which are always available to them during class. It's helped many of them through class tests, quizzes, and classroom presentation. Each of my students received their own large see through case and sets of highlighters and color pencils!. Their note taking skills have definitely improved all because you provided them the opportunity to choose ANY COLOR they love! They hand in colorful worksheets! I can't thank you enough for all you've done to support my kids, my awesome and amazing students! I could continue to say and type thank you, but I'll eventually run out of space!! From the bottom of my heart and from all 83 students, muchas gracias!”
