  • Writing Our Way to Success

    Funded Jan 29, 2024

    My students and I are in a unique classroom. We primarily use pencil and paper instead of computers. My students use pencils everyday. The majority of my students do not have pencils provided by their parents, so in order for our classroom to function I need a lot of pencils.

    I have been able to give all of my students pencils for the entire semester. My students are always grateful for the provided resources. I never have to discipline them for not having pencils. We just pass them out and move on with our day. This simple routine makes my class so much more calm.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Parnell

  • Write Your Heart Out

    Funded Jul 23, 2023

    This year, my students have not had to worry about having essential classroom supplies. I have been able to provide pencils, erasers, colored pencils, and paper to each child that comes into my classroom.

    My students have also had a reliable pencil sharpener in each classroom that I teach in. This has saved time and irritation every day.

    My students have benefited greatly from such a small donation. They don't have to even return the pencils to me. Im able to tell them that if they will need it, they can keep it.

    I appreciate all of the resources you have provided us.”

  • Breaking Barriers

    Funded Dec 3, 2022

    My students have had the ability to hear and practice their language skills by having the headsets funded by your generosity. They also have not had to do without school supplies for over a semester of school.

    I have been able to say, "Do you need this for the rest of the day? Okay, then keep it."

    We have gotten to do more projects. They have practiced more listening activities and been able to focus more on their lessons. Without your support these kiddos would not have had that option. They may not be able to tell you themselves, but thank you so much from all of us.

    We appreciate you more than you know!”

  • Listen Up!

    Funded Dec 28, 2021

    My students are using Rosetta Stone in the classroom every day. We previously did not have any headphones for them to use.

    These new headphones not only assist with the students' ability to hear the activity, but it allows them to focus better on their work.

    My students were most excited about being able to work on their Ipads, without hearing all the other students' lessons talking as well. The students also appreciate how comfortable these headsets are compared to wearing earbuds all class period.

    Most of my students with attention issues, are especially excited to be able to use these. The headphones block out all the unnecessary noise that normally would interrupt their thought process. My students and I are extremely grateful to have these provided to us.”

  • Success Through Supplies

    Funded Mar 25, 2022

    Thank you for providing necessary school supplies for our students here at Douglas Macarthur Junior High. My students are provided with supplies from a teacher that does not involve returning it. My students have been so much more comfortable this year asking for pencils, pens, paper, markers, and colored pencils to use in my class. These are given with the implication that they may keep them until they no longer need them.

    Being able to do this for my kids is wonderful. Instead of saying, "I need that back", my response is always, "Do you need it for your other classes?" Most responses are always yes.

    They appreciate it more that they are able to express, and I do as well.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Parnell

My students are required to take an English language proficiency test. Two of the main components are speaking and listening. With better headphones, these kids will not only be able to hear and speak with more accuracy, they will also have less outside noise coming through their headphones. The main stressor my kids tell me about is other students hearing what they are saying during the test. These kiddos face innumerable difficulties in school, so please help us take this one off the list. They will appreciate every minute of these!
