  • A Chair for Charity

    Funded Dec 13, 2024

    Thank you for your generosity. Our class appreciates your good deed. This will provide a safe environment for my classroom. This may only be for one chair, but it's a great start! I'll give you an update when it arrives. We hope you have a wonderful holiday season.”

    Mr. Boffa

  • Pencils for Pleasantville

    Funded Aug 14, 2024

    Thank you so much for funding my project. My classroom has been running very smooth now. I have so many students walking to my classroom unprepared without a pencil. Rather than going back and forth with them, I just simply provide them the short pencil with an eraser at the end and haven't received too many complaints. This has maximized educational time in my classroom and minimized time spent trying to figure out how to get a pencil for my students. They've been doing a pretty good job with giving them back at the end of each period. A couple students complained about them being short and I just simply tell them that if they want a better pencil to bring their own. This teaches them responsibility. Thank you again!”

  • Dry Erase Markers for Mr. Boffa's Classroom

    Funded Sep 20, 2023

    Thank you for donating to my classroom. I received the markers a few weeks ago. I have not used the markers yet because I'm still using my old ones. However, I never received my regular school order! These markers will be clutch down the road when my current markers dry out. I have been using the dry erase markers and white boards regularly. I attached a picture of the markers received. The students like to use the markers. This helps me give a good formative assessment on the students to help them.

    Thank you again!”

  • Headphones For My Class Next Year

    Funded Sep 13, 2022

    Thank you so much for providing money for headphones. My students have been making progress with their individualized learning paths and it has freed up many different opportunities for remediation.

    The students like the fact they can work at their own pace rather than listen to me the entire period. I can assign a video tutorial and they can stop and start at any point without having to ask me for help.

    For some high level students that finish all of their work early, they especially like to use them to listen to music which I let them to reward their good work. Thank you so much.”
