  • Shield your shins, take on the game fearlessly!

    Funded Aug 15, 2023

    This has been such an amazing asset to my team. I was able to welcome over 15 new players this year, I could let them know that they could just come down to the field and we would be able to equip them. I have been coaching for the past 14 years, with these donations, I am able to continue to encourage new players and they do not have to worry about buying a ton of equipment to get going. I hope to continue to be able to teach new players and have them be part of a team. I just want to thank you again for this donation!!!

  • Hands Off Phones, Hands on Learning!

    Funded Nov 30, 2022

    Thank you so much for providing the colored paper, the glue sticks, scissors, projector screen, pencils and colored pencils. It has been so helpful in helping the students understand topics in math. When I can use cut and paste activities, coloring activities, use the highlighters to identify angles or segments, the students have a much better understanding and they are more willing to put down those phones! It has been a challenging year, but I cannot put in words how grateful I am to have all of your support. These supplies have made this year more interesting and has kept my students more engaged. My students love the fact that when they walk into the room, there is always a new a type of activity for them to learn with. I look forward to the years to come where these supplies will help me as well.

    Thank you again,”

  • Field Hockey! Help Please!

    Funded Aug 27, 2022

    THANK YOU SO MUCH. My team was thrilled!!! Having these goggles in our equipment room now means we can open it up to anyone that wants to play. We were able to encourage some new players without the fear of needing to go out and purchase hundreds of dollars worth of equipment. I am so thankful for this support. We are now working to grow the program back up and this was so essential. We are hopeful to start some middle school clinics now that we have the proper equipment to bring. I am so thankful to be able to have coached this team for so many years! Thank you all for your support.”

  • Geometry Constructions!

    Funded Dec 18, 2021

    Thank you so much for the donations which included calculators and the holder, the colored pencils, regular pencils and sharpener, colored paper and power stripes.

    Calculators & holder - it is SO helpful to have a place to store them. Students can walk in and borrower a calculator to get the work for that day done! It is much easier to help all students when they are working with the calculator and I have allowed them to borrow for SATs etc.

    Colored Pencils - The first day we were able to use them was one of the best classes I have had. The students were able to draw and define relationships and represent them with select colors. We have used them MANY times since.

    Pencils - I have started the one pencil a month due to these donations - it allows me help the students out and give an opportunity for all students to benefit from the donation.

    Colored Paper - it makes a world of difference when making worksheets and foldables, students can easily find what you are looking for. So happy for that!

    Power Strips - we are now a one to one district and using you computer all day leads to batteries dying often. With the new 15 foot power strips - students in the middle of the room have access to charging their computer. It makes everything so easy for everyone :)

    Thank you ALL so much!! These student truly appreciate it all & we are very thankful!!”
