  • Ignite A Love For Reading

    Funded Jan 12, 2025

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generous support of our bilingual students and their journey toward becoming confident, lifelong readers. Your contributions are making a lasting difference in the lives of our learners.

    Literacy is a cornerstone of student success, and having access to books that reflect their interests and identities empowers our students in meaningful ways. When students are able to see themselves in the stories they read—or explore new worlds through books—they begin to unlock their full potential. Your support makes this possible.”

    Ms. Tronco

  • Holidays Around The World

    Funded Nov 26, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donation! The holidays can be a difficult time for many students, but being able to celebrate together in our classroom makes it truly meaningful. My students had a wonderful time creating snow globes to gift to their families—an activity filled with joy and creativity.

    One of our favorite traditions was wrapping a book for each student to open during our daily read-aloud. This simple gesture made every student feel special and part of our classroom family. Each day, they were excited to come to school and discover the book of the day. It was a magical experience filled with connection, curiosity, and joy.

    Thank you for helping make these special moments possible”

  • New Year, New Supplies

    Funded Mar 28, 2025

    Thank you so much for all your help! As teachers wrap up this year, they are always prepping for the next. We try to offer as many opportunities to our students as we can, and your support makes it possible for us to continue to do this. The supplies that you are providing for my students will allow ALL of the students walking into my classroom the opportunity to enjoy new supplies. New supplies always feel like a treat and my students deserve it!”

  • Que es... Bilingual Literacy

    Funded Mar 12, 2025

    Thank you so much for your generous support! Receiving bilingual books is truly a dream come true. I’m excited for my students to explore nonfiction books about people from all over the world. This book will be especially valuable when we start our research projects for Women’s History Month.”

    Ms. Tronco

  • Fuel for Learning

    Funded Nov 5, 2024

    I am thankful for your generous donation! Your thoughtful contribution allows me to provide snacks for students who come to school hungry, ensuring they can start their day with a full stomach. It also helps offer that little extra boost of energy for those who need it during the day to stay focused and engaged. Providing snacks has also helped build relationships in my classrooms in the sense that students enjoy stopping by during recess to ask for a snack and eat the snack with other peers inside the classroom.”

  • Animal Classification Project Model

    Funded Oct 30, 2024

    Thank you so much for your help. This has been by fast my favorite project. When I received the materials, my students were thrilled and wanted to begin the writing process as soon as possible. I truly appreciate being able to provide my students with hands on learning. All of my students were invested in working hard to create their research paper and models. I was beyond impressed with their abilities and creativeness. This project allowed all my students the opportunity to create a 3D model to go along with their research papers. Each model was unique and creative in many ways. Thank you again for all your support!”

  • Space for Learning

    Funded Sep 19, 2024

    Thank you for your donations. As a new teacher, I can't express how thankful I am for the amount of support your donations bring. When I arrived to my new classroom, I was excited yet stressed by the empty space. When the rug arrived, my students were filled with excitement. They all wanted to sit on it and work on the rug all day! Being able to give my students the materials they need to feel at home away from home is all a teacher can ever ask for. Thank you again for helping me create a safe and welcoming environment for my students.”

Your support will mean the world to my children. Room 9 is currently in need of a classroom revamp/ classroom management. My students have been through a lot of classroom changes in their first couple of months of Kindergarten. Cozy corner, treasure box rewards and everyday supplies will go a long way! They get excited with the smallest guestures so I know incorporating some of these items into the classroom will bring big smiles. These students need a lot of support with self regulation therefore creating a space that allows them to refocus their brain will be very beneficial to them. Thank you in advance.
